Cristiano Ronaldo is part of the Portugal national team at Euro 2024. However, will Ronaldo still play an important role for Selecao das Quinas at Euro 2024?
Portugal is in Group F at Euro 2024. Roberto Martinez’s team will compete with the Czech Republic, Türkiye and debutant Georgia.
Portugal is the favorite to qualify for the knockout stages. Because, on paper, Portugal has a fairly competitive composition of players compared to the other three participants in Group F.
Euro 2024 will be Ronaldo’s 6th European stage. After being the focus for Portugal in the previous five editions of the Euro, how will Portugal be at Euro 2024? Come on, see the complete review below.
Prediction of Ronaldo’s Role at Euro 2024
Ronaldo is still an important part of Roberto Martinez’s plans. However, at the age of 39, will Martinez still make Ronaldo the main foundation of Portugal’s game?
In Portugal’s last two matches, against Finland and Croatia, Ronaldo did not play. Ronaldo went on holiday with his family after completing the season with Al Nassr.
Without Ronaldo, Portugal won 4-2 over Finland and lost 1-2 to Croatia. Diogo Jota performed well as a center forward. He always scores goals. Then, there is Bruno Fernandes who is optimal for the role of attacking midfielder.
Ronaldo is still in good form. However, Portugal is starting to get used to being without Ronaldo in the starting XI. In the last five matches in all competitions, Portugal played without Ronaldo three times and there were no goals from Ronaldo in that period.
