Martinez doesn’t dare change Ronaldo

Sorry to all Cristiano Ronaldo fans, I have to be honest. I am also a fan of Ronaldo. But I have to admit that “CR7” did not cause any trouble to the opponent’s defenders because of his physical condition that has deteriorated with age.

But it seems that Roberto Martinez is not brave enough to replace Ronaldo.

He couldn’t be on the pitch all the time. Players who can change the สมัคร ufabet game and make the difference like Diogo Jota, Pedro Neto or even Goncalo Ramos didn’t get a single minute in this game.

The final scene of the Euro finals

It’s not the European Championship finals that Pepe and Cristiano Ronaldo wanted for Portugal, even though they’ve won the trophy before.

At least Pepe, at 41, finished the Euros in impressive form. He maintained his physical condition very well.

The most impressive moment was when he ran into substitute Marcus Thuram, a French player who was brought on, but he didn’t lose his cool and even intercepted the ball.

Ronaldo himself must be feeling quite disappointed because he tried his best (sometimes it seemed like he tried too hard) to be named as a scorer at Euro 2024 but failed to do so.

Then I wish you both good luck.

It would be weird if this actually happened.

Believe it or not, we are already into the quarter-finals – around 502 minutes into the tournament – and Didier Deschamps’ side are yet to score a single goal from “open play” at Euro 2024, despite their attacking department being filled with some of the world’s best players.

They have had 87 shots in five games, 21 on target and have scored just three goals.

  • Group stage: Won Austria 1-0 (own goal)
  • Group stage: Draw with Netherlands 0-0
  • Group stage: Draw with Poland 1-1 (from penalties)
  • Round of 16: Won Belgium 1-0 (own goal)
  • Quarter-finals: Draw with Portugal 0-0 (won on penalties)
  • Semi-finals : vs Spain ?????

If France wins Euro 2024 without scoring a single goal in open play,

That would be quite strange.
