Ronaldo started all three group stage matches in this European Championship, but ultimately failed to score. Former national team player Mao Jianqing expressed his regret for Ronaldo in a video posted on his personal social media.
Mao Jianqing said: “Ronaldo is trying so hard, how can you (play like that). So this team is just no good. They only have Ronaldo, without him, can this team even work? You have Bruno Fernandes, who else is good without Ronaldo. Ronaldo is getting old now, who else can you expect to step up? This country has no Ronaldo, they’re a second or third-rate team, always getting crushed by Spain. I feel sorry for Ronaldo.
I don’t really care if this team loses, it’s just that Ronaldo is on the pitch, so it hurts to see him lose. If Ronaldo wasn’t there, I wouldn’t even watch Portugal’s games. Sigh, I feel sorry for Ronaldo, having to play with this team. I’m crying, I can’t accept it, I can’t accept that C can’t score a single goal in the group stage.
(Ronaldo) is not as domineering as before, he needs people to pass him the ball. Now, no one is passing him the ball, Ronaldo can’t break through on his own, he’s got the heart but not the strength. His era is coming to an end. Whether he’s old or not, you just can’t forget that kind of sentiment.”
