Euro 2024 and Copa America are only the final left, and the star-studded Portugal of this tournament stopped in the last eight, in which Ronaldo started all five games, shot 23 times, scored 0 goals and missed penalties in the game. Therefore, most fans believe that Ronaldo should have given up Portugal's main No. 9 position a long time ago, and could even withdraw from the national team.

In this regard, Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand strongly supported Ronaldo, he talked about Ronaldo on the FIVE channel, and believed that the accusations of fans and media for Ronaldo to withdraw from the Portugal national team after the game were unfair.

Ferdinand described it this way:Cristiano Ronaldo did not play well in this European Championship and did not score and it is disrespectful for you to say that he has to leave the Portugal national team. When Messi didn't score in this Copa America, I didn't hear fans and media accuse him。

Regarding Ferdinand's remarks in support of Ronaldo, fans have refuted it. Some fans described it like this: The problem is that Ronaldo's only role now is to score goals, and if he can't score a goal, it is equivalent to a negative effect, which is equivalent to one less player for the team, and everyone has to make cakes at a fixed point; Messi can still play a role in the midfield to dispatch the ball without scoring, and his role is still to assist his teammates. To put it simplyRonaldo's problem is not just not to score, and Messi's role is not just to score goals。 Do you agree with this fan?

Zhidao point of view, the biggest difference between Mero today is: Ronaldo in the Portugal dressing room, except for Pepe, there are not many teammates to support, from B Fei grabbing a free kick can be seen, Ronaldo himself is a little self-aware, European Cup free kick penalty 30 times, not a goal scored, still grabbing free kick rights, teammates will naturally be unhappy, this is just a point. Portugal has already secured the top spot in the group after the first two rounds of the group stage, other teammates have been rested, Ronaldo still has to start to play, and the 39-year-old veteran should be rotated and rested. In short, Ronaldo is a bit of a data barrier, and the Portugal coaching staff can't hold it down. Although Messi's combat effectiveness is also seriously declining, in the Argentina dressing room, at least for now, he is still the boss, and a group of young brothers below support it, which is completely different from Ronaldo. There is also Messi's tactical value in Argentina, in addition to scoring goals, organizing attacks and free kicks, Messi is also Argentina's superpower.
