Cristiano Ronaldo has come under fire from Manuel Jose, a former Sporting CP manager, who claims the great player is self-centered and materialistic.
If Cristiano Ronaldo chooses to retire, which in his opinion is long time, it would, in his opinion, be a breath of fresh air for the Portuguese national team.
Ronaldo's impact on the Portuguese national team for the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar was significantly decreased by former Portugal coach Fernando Santos, who prominently benched the striker for the squad's final games.
Ronaldo has been reinserted into the starting Eleven under new manager Roberto Martinez after Santos was fired after Portugal's loss to Morocco in the World Cup.
The 38-year-old UEFA Euro 2024 qualifier against Liechtenstein and Luxembourg marked the beginning of the Spaniard's stint by scoring four goals in two games.
The former Real Madrid, Juventus, and Manchester United great, in Jose's opinion, has to recognize the new manager will not turn him back into the Ronaldo of old.
Moreover, he said that Ronaldo had lost sight of his origins and needed to acknowledge both the reality that he was no longer a youthful athlete and the need to be modest while serving his nation.
“It’s impressive, but Cristiano has forgotten his origins,” he told Record.
“He doesn’t know how to finish his career. It’s money and more money. ‘Fresh air’ would be if they took Ronaldo out of the national team.
“He has a dollar sign in each eye, and Bruno Fernandes just told the truth and put him in his place.
“Now he has an ego the size of the world and he only thinks about himself and no one else
“On the field, it’s him, then him and then him again. He still hasn’t been able to understand how old he is, that he is playing in a peripheral league and that he is no longer the Ronaldo of old times,” he stated.
