Former Chelsea midfielder John Obi Mikel has dragged Portugal captain Cristiano Ronaldo for always wanting to partake in every matches that involve Portugal.
Ronaldo who was dragged for not playing up to expectation, got criticized by Mikel as he said that he didn’t need to always play every matches. The Al-Nassr forward had five appearances in the tournament but did not score a goal, but had an assist that helped his country to win.
In his words, “Even if you are a [Lionel] Messi fan, your respect [has to go to] him. You can’t like them both, everyone has their own opinion.
I have my opinion on who I think the [greatest of all time] GOAT is. Now, Messi winning the Copa America again with Argentina and leading them to glory [puts him ahead]. Of course, Ronaldo, you could say that [he had a disappointing Euro 2024 campaign],
A lot of people criticized Ronaldo about taking [all of the] free-kicks, about trying to do everything [on his own], trying to play every game.
But I have said it a few times, the only place I criticize him in that tournament is [his decision] to play the game against Georgia.
He did not need to play that game. You are 39 years old, take a break. Have a rest and refresh for the next game.”
