The thing about Ronaldo is, he’s not as consistent as he were before, but he’s still got that magic in him that 99% of the players don’t. If you don’t play him, you’ll regret as he might produce something magical that could be decisive in a tight match. If you do play him and somehow he doesn’t, then you’ll regret putting him on. He is on that thin line of 10/10 and 5/10.

[@pbtambunan]

There is no way to bench Ronaldo. He is the spirit in Portuguese National Team. Even he doesn't score, his well being is motivating team and also the supporters. Do you think Diogo Jota, Nunes and Otavio could score the goals for Portugal just like that should Santos have benched Ronaldo? No way.... Turkish defensive players would have been anticipating Diogo Jota, Nunes and Otavio easily. Because they were distracted by Ronaldo, there was a gap there that gave advantages for these 3 players to be able to take it and score the goals. That is how importance Ronaldo for Portuguese National Team is and (if the coach/manager knows how to make use of him for any formation) Manchester United. He is not just a player.

[@jayakrishnanjayakumar]

That's because Messi can run a game, he can still be the best player on the pitch without scoring or assisting. Just see the Argentina match that they played today. Neymar, Di Maria, Paredes all look exceptional in the national team. PSG and their tactics are making all their main players look bad. Except Mbappe nobody is on their best cause all their tactics is pass the ball to mbappe and he runs and scores, thats it. and coming to the topic, I presume it's hard for ronaldo to impact on the pitch unless he is scoring. And lately he is inconsistent in scoring too. Without scoring he isnt useful pretty much. So naturally the people who watch both matches can depict what's happening to both. I think you got your answer.

[@megaknight6666]

@@jayakrishnanjayakumar You pretty much didn't watch psg games enough. Messi was just walking or jogging on the pitch and it's no doubt that his passing is so good. But the others need to do more running jobs to cover him. Bro he is just 34 and ronaldo is 37. At the age of 34 ronaldo was still monstrous on the ball. Even at the age of 37, you can still see ronaldo sprinting back to defence even at the 80th minutes. His mindset and dedication is something else. No hates towards anybody I'm just saying the truth.

I don't really understand yet why teams or National teams put all their eggs in one basket. Ronaldo, like messi in Argentina are getting really old. Coaches must prepare a team with a view to the future and give their stars, a less starring role. To train the new generations and show them a team or National team is over any player, even messi or Ronaldo. Apart from that, they get ready for possible problems. Maybe one player cannot be in a match, so his substitute is ready to replace him. And what I see here in Arg. is that some players (leaded by messi and Agüero) have set the rules for many years. However, when scaloni took the team, the situation was different. The coach has made almost the decisions and success can be seen not only in the results, but also in the team performance. That's the importance is giving the power to the coach and manager, and not to the players. So, going back to the idea, players are not always necessary for the team, sometimes they must go to the bench and give the chance to another player. They are humans and need a rest. After all, it's a job and they need it to come back stronger. So you prepare another player to be the protagonist, and not just a shadow.

Ronaldo's role can filled by any tall athletic player stop thinking what he does is exceptional. Leao came in and had more of an impact in one situation than Ronaldo's whole game

[@marilisaali574]

[@jaykarki3937]

You have to have him on Portugal the entire game unless up by 4. Ronaldo does practically nothing on defense but if Portugal is up by 1 with 20 minutes to go and he goes off and the other team scores two and takes the lead and Portugal then need a goal and they don’t get it all the blame goes on the manager.

[@maudalmusicalmachines3541]

Please fire Twelman from your US broadcasts. He's embarrassing for any number of reasons, not least of which is his seemingly purposeful mispronunciation of the names of players even after hearing them correctly pronounced 10 or 20 times over the course of a game. It's no surprise that Europeans might believe Americans are ignorant after hearing him for 5 minutes.

First and foremost Ronaldo himself has to drop his ego and face up to the fact that he can't play as many games as before, and stop throwing tantrums for being dropped or subbed early.

[@mathewvanostin7118]

Why? Just because of age Dude this is not Wayne Rooney or Henry. That dude prime was anormaly extremely high. Even at 50% of his past self he is more reliable then most current players 😆 Also what solution you suggest. Rely on Joao Felix? André Silva? Those guys ghost 90% of the time Ronaldo yes do have bad game. But its only 20% of the time. 50% of the time he performs. 30% he is okay

They’re making all about Ronaldo’s feelings. The simple truth is that you can’t bench because of what he offers on the pitch. Even if he’s terrible the entire game he just needs 2-3 minutes to or even just a couple of chances to turn any game around. That’s the only reason you want him on the pitch. And not to protect his feelings.

[@elmagnifico1]

That’s not a good reason to keep him on the pitch. Anybody on the team can take a chance that falls kindly. When you get to the point where you need the ball worked to you or you’re useless you need to hang them up. Ronaldo is done he’s too old
