When you have dedicated your whole life to being on the pitch I feel sometimes players need help to let go. It is a mentality thing engraved within & it is hard to let that a go. Cristiano is coming to the end, he has to accept what is coming. It will hurt to let it all go.
Cristiano Ronaldo is amongst the top five footballers of all time, 5x Ballon d’Or winner, 5x Champions League winner. He stayed relevant, reinventing his game: dazzling dribbler out wide, sensational forward, less mobile but serial scorer. He’s been an unbelievable servant to Portugal’s cause, 146 goals in 234 internationals, winning Euro 2016 and 2x Nations Leagues. But, at 41, Ronaldo cannot expect to feature regularly internationally. It's an old, very true adage that there’s one opponent even the greats cannot beat: Father Time.
Portugal’s coach, Jorge Jesus, who’s been coaching for 36 years, picks the team, and picks which subs to send on. Ronaldo may have been frustrated at constantly warming up against Norway in Oslo and not coming on. But Portugal won, Jesus vindicated. It’s not a “betrayal” as Ronaldo’s sister claims. It’s football life, it’s the ageing process.
It’s an experienced, strong-minded coach applying his thoughts and tactics to maximise the talents of an exceptional generation, including Diogo Costa, Bruno Fernandes, Joao Cancelo, Bernardo Silva, Vitinha, Nuno Mendes, Ruben Dias, Goncalo Ramos, Pedro Neto, Rafael Leao etc).
Ronaldo left camp, hardly the behaviour of a captain or team player but he may have his reasons beyond piqued pride. The fact remains that without him, Portugal then beat Denmark 4-2 in Copenhagen. Results shape the narrative.
Portugal move on from Ronaldo. Let’s hope there’s dignity in the parting, no damaging of Ronaldo’s phenomenal legacy. Let’s hope there’s a farewell appearance in Lisbon at some point, a chance for his legions of admirers to show their gratitude. And for Ronaldo to go gracefully, to leave the stage he illuminated for so many years with thunderous applause ringing in his ears. And return to Saudi for the 21 goals he needs for that landmark 1,000. Confirmation of a grand player.
