A former great OM player believes that Cristiano Ronaldo no longer has much to do at the highest level.
Cristiano Ronaldo has had a complicated Euro, having played four matches as a starter without scoring a single goal. On Monday evening, the five-time Ballon d’Or winner almost cost his team elimination by missing a penalty in the 8th minute.e against Slovenia.
CR7 apologized for this miss that made him shed a few tears. But that did not exempt him from criticism at the final whistle. The barbs were severe in the foreign media against him. And it was also the case in France.
“Ronaldo is no longer at the service of the collective”
A certain Eric Di Méco notably allowed himself to criticize the best scorer in the history of the selections. “In 2022, there was already a Ronaldo debate. It was said that he inhibited his partners and he was put in as a substitute. Today, he is put in the starting line-up, even in the 3e match where no one played. Where you see that he is less in shape is on his releases. I find that he is more at the service of the team and therefore less efficient.
Di Meco pointed the finger at Ronaldo. However, it was a few months agohe was the first to campaign for the Portuguese legend to sign with his favourite club, OM. “It would be unforgivable not to try to recruit him,” he declared in August 2022.
