I hate to be that guy, but I think Cristiano is being used wrong in the Portugal national team. While the whole team are passing to each other(which they Do very well) , Ronaldo is placed in the penalty area waiting for a header. Not only is the team losing a lot of opportunities by passing high balls into the penalty area(which end up being defended against). They are also losing a a crucial part of Ronaldo’s abilities to finish balls from outside the box. I don’t think it has a lot to do with Ronaldo, because I have watched the way he played in Al Nassar. I would love to hear others opinions on this.
i’d like you to think through why he cannot play the same in an international game as he can in the saudi arabian league
