Portugal coach: Ronaldo is under evaluation
Sudan Events – Follow-ups
Roberto Martinez, Portugal coach, spoke about the accusations leveled against Cristiano Ronaldo, the Saudi Al-Nasr star, before the Euro.
Regarding Ronaldo’s failure to perform his defensive roles.
“It is important for us to attack and defend with 11 players. Cristiano has great experience. There is no one else who has this experience.” Martinez said. “He is a player who knows well how to exploit space in the penalty area, and he He is an exceptional goalscorer and an exceptional player. Cristiano’s focus, his reaction to losing the ball, and his defensive positions were perfect during the matches we played (the last 11 matches), so for me, there are no doubts and no fears about Ronaldo.” Martinez added. “Ronaldo played 51 matches last season and had no problems playing all the matches. He has played in many competitions, but club matches are not at the same level as national team matches. I think there is no problem, but we will evaluate this in real time and during the tournament.” Martinez added.
