“Things He Does Are So Un-Ronaldo” – Despite Cristiano Ronaldo’s Heroics for Portugal, Analyst Blasts Al Nassr Star for ‘Embarrassing’ Gameplay

Cristiano Ronaldo raised the bar yet again during the international break with Portugal. The Al Nassr captain scored 4 goals and provided 1 assist in 2 games helping Portugal secure a Euro spot. The 38-year-old, nevertheless, failed to impress critics who argue that his performances dip when Portugal actually need him the most. On this note, a Premier League icon shared his take on Ronaldo, while lamenting his gameplay.

Meanwhile, it is now smooth sailing for Portugal in their Euro qualifiers. The team has already secured a spot and will be looking to end their campaign on a high note. Some of the other major European nations, however, are still in line to secure their qualification; Sweden, Poland, and Italy are still in contention for the Euro spots.

Critics are left unimpressed by Cristiano Ronaldo’s performances

Cristiano Ronaldo has been pulling off wonders for Portugal in recent matches. In fact, the whole Portuguese squad is doing exceptionally well with Ronnie having scored 8 goals in the tournament as of yet. He’s also made the highest attempts on target with 14 attempts, equaling Belgium’s Romelu Lukaku. However, former Liverpool player Steve Nicol believes that this feat doesn’t matter anymore.

Steve Nicol shared his take, as he focuses on the level of the tournament. The former Premier League icon said, “He’s (Ronaldo) going to score goals playing for Portugal, it’s the qualifiers. If you want to just go by he scored some goals then okay but if you actually watch him, some of the things he does are so Un-Ronaldo like falling over the ball. Some of the shots he has are just embarrassingly off time and off target”.

Nicol further added, ” It depends what little bit of clips, it’s like scouting on video, I’ve seen so many world beaters on video of all the best bits and then when you get them somehow these best bits turn into once in a blue moon so I’m sorry is he scoring goals in the qualifiers yes but realistically again when it mattered in the World Cup it couldn’t be relied upon”.
