Roberto Martinez was NOT having anyone question Ronaldo!

@@Moonbear241 it was a strange thing to witness, nobody defended anybody. Instead they let the media ran wild with stories, Bruno also letting the video of the handshake go viral without putting a stop to it right away was strange and then the coach gives into the fans wishes of how Ronaldo should be treated instead of being the damn coach

[@Not7i]

[@timmasters1195]

@@Not7i no, his issue is the same as his issue now, his game is built around his physical ability and that has faded. The keyboard warriors are his fans, the people who understand football are saying he should be on the bench. And he was offered to clubs on a way lower wage than Man Utd were paying. Not a single cl team wanted him. That's not an attack, just the facts. Move on bro.

@@timmasters1195 like I said your form can't just dip like that the previous season he scored 18 goals and was 3rd highest scorer in the pl with that finished United side.

These are players competing in the 2024 Euro. Nobody questions their physical senility yet, the GOAT is the problem. Once he turned 36 everybody started questioning CR7's age.

[@arishemthejudge6780]

@@unitystarlight13 It just shows that Martinez is intent on playing Ronaldo throughout the game. There is no dodging of question, the coach has simply made up his mind. Ronaldo is obviously capable of running 90 minutes. I don't think you watched but just the past month he played 120mins against Al Hilal which is quite a superb team, as good as a mid-table Prem side I would say. And I saw him, he was making sprints and challenging the ball right to the death. He has the stamina 100%, its just his physicality to shield the ball which has drastically gone down. He relies one quick one touch goals and headers at this point, and it almost happened against Czech

[@Joszinholovesfootball]

Ronaldo fans need to wake up lmao. It's pathetic how brain dead u guys are. He did nothing against Czech Republic and yet he's supposed to be a guaranteed starter against Turkey. Same story in the World Cup. Ronaldo was rated one of the worst players in the World Cup 2022. He scored a penalty against Ghana which he dived for and did nothing for the rest of the tournament. Ramos scored a hat trick against a Switzerland side who were actually kinda tough to beat and Portugal destroyed them 6-1. Then after that Ramos masterclass, u expect the manager to start a finished useless Ronaldo over him against Morocco? Are u stupid? U need brain surgery? Ronaldo would have made no difference in the Morocco game and that's a fact, he was a finished 37 year old at the time who was useless the whole tournament. Ramos however was in brilliant form. Ronaldo is historically ur best player but that doesn't change the fact that the coach must be starting Ramos the guy in form over him. So Ronaldo would have made no difference, he isn't God ffs. Ronaldo has barely made a single contribution for Portugal. Done nothing in the World Cup for them. Hasn't won a single international best player award. In Euro 2016, he appeared in only 2 games and was awful in the others. Portugal won the final with him on the bench lmao. In the Nations League, Bernardo Silva was the best player and was POTT.

Very well said coach!

[@andyhello23]

Very good answer Such players and how much experience they have in big games is invaluable Amazing that he is still playing, and the manager answered very well Good to see the manager did not just become defensive, he answered with logic, and it was a good answer that most people can understand. When i was a kid in 1980s players would retire at around 30 I think its amazing these players today are going upto 40, and still being somewhat effective But like the manager says, he brings more to the team, then just a normal forward would

He speaks so well, I thought the question was fair enough from the journalist but Martinez handled it brilliantly. I love coaches who back their players in.
