The conceição hate is crazy, he played great and was one of our only players who had the courage to take the f*****g ball forward. Every time he was subbed on he upped the tempo. Something Portugal desperately struggles with is using the possession we have effectively. It’s exactly why I feel our midfield is overrated. All the possession no results. I miss Renato. He actually did something
I miss Renato too man. As for Conceicao, the guy obviously has a bright future and the talent is there, he just needs to be polished. He shouldn’t even be asked to play in this tournament with the team we had, and yea he took the ball forward, but 99% of his runs ended with a bad cross into the box.
Yup 100% no idea what this guy is talking about Conceição is about to blow up this kid has immense talent. Only player along with Leao who had balls to do anything.
@@Thefootballempire2that’s the issue with Ronaldo, he’s constbstly marked and can’t get aaay to create space because he’s to slow and we are serving Ronaldo instead of a player like Ramos or jota who would free up so much more space for the team. Granted I think Neto shouldn’t been our RW over Bernardo and Leao on the left then sub Leao for jota or Felix and have ramos or jota as the striker this would’ve made us so much more dangerous
As someone who is Portuguese and loves Ronaldo, it pains me to watch him like this he would be ridiculous as super sub at 60-70 mins in, no CB in the world would be comfortable with this situation but it just doesn't happen, I would have loved to see Jota start, link play more, create spaces for Leão to run behind, for Bruno to go forward more, to let the game flow more, with Ronaldo we have one way of playing right now, slow, predicable, easy to defend against. It honestly feels like we're hostages of Ronaldo and it doesn't need to be this way, he can contribute, be the standard for professionalism for everyone on the team, make the locker room and atmosphere elite among the elites and keep it there for years to come but the Portuguese Federation and national team coach have to be able to take that leap asap.
Great point, the problem is, the federation is in love with Ronaldo (and rightfully so) but yes ur right he can contribute in different ways, I honestly wouldn’t mind seeing him take on the role as a coach even, he can guide the young players and be a leader. Right now we’re not getting the best out of Leao, Bruno Bernardo and other attackers, to cater to Ronaldo, ur right were just too predictable right now
@@Thefootballempire2 Even get Felix on the left to get his confidence up and get playtime, imagine being a CB and having to deal with Leão and Ronaldo coming in fresh at 60 mins in
You nailed it man 200% this is exactly the problem playing with Ronaldo for 90 min is way to predicable because Ronaldo is way to limited now he needs the ball fed to him exactly otherwise he’s useless as painful as that is to say but the team shouldn’t have to cater that hard to 1 player we need someone who can do the work themselves and jota is that guy
Every time Ronaldo received the ball he went sideways He iwas shit scared to take on players All those step overs to move backwards If that was Messi Argentina supporters would have grilled him
Definitely disagree, Ronaldo got plenty of service the issue is exactly that. To much service to Ronaldo who offers very little of anything else, even Ramos would’ve been more useful as he can at least run and create space where Ronaldo can’t anymore vs defenders in there prime. This was the entire reason passes were “poor” because Ronaldo isn’t running where he needs too this doesn’t work and it was a huge hinderance to Portugal. Ronaldo also shouldn’t be playing the 90 minutes every game we are letting guys like jota rot on the bench who is easily our best direct forward just to serve Ronaldo. He’s done amazing things for Portugal it Portugal comes before any 1 person no matter who they are or were. Martinez is at fault for all of this as it’s his job to have the balls to make the right choices and he didn’t. This is also why Portugal didn’t score any goals this tournament. Also Bernardo on the wing is so stupid it hasn’t worked ever for Portugal and we still keep doing it.
Go to euro2024 page , and check all the stats of Portugal .. you Will see if he didn’t run , Leao as like 6.5 km per game . cr7 had never been good playing alone in forward position , it’s not about his age .. Leao doesn’t have IQ football and intensity to play this role.
Cristiano Renault is a big cost problem. And he should understand you shouldn't know it's not good enough anymore. That's why Portugal last and that's why Portuguese and the courts it's blind. You cannot keep a guit's not doing the last 2 games. No doing nothing at all. He cost a problem to Portugal be like this. You shouldn't understand this is it's time is over. Isolate cost problems. The portuguard theme that nothing else
Only 2 people are to blame, Ronaldo for playing full 120 mins and Martinez for not subbing Ronaldo

Apart from the audio only coming through my left ear this was a good vid, keep it up champ
Subbing off Leao was pretty confusing. He was the best attacking player for Portugal that game imo
Very true, horrible sub
Amazing vid, keep up the good work :)

"Who's to blame"... we ALL KNOW it's Ronaldo
Joao. Only correct answer.
Every time Ronaldo received the ball he went sideways
He iwas shit scared to take on players

Ronaldo didn't have a good tournament either, everyone made their effort and there are good players like bernardo silva
