Diego Forlán held nothing back. 🎙️ The world champion with Uruguay in 2010 analyzed the scoreless draw between Portugal and Colombia on ESPN’s ‘La casa del Kun,’ and was blunt: Cristiano Ronaldo, at 41 years old, is “very static” and his fixed position is benefiting opposing defenders. “He’s a funnel”, said Forlán. “The center backs know exactly where he’s going to be. He doesn’t move.”
Kun Agüero did not hesitate to join in: “I think he just doesn’t have it anymore”. And Ruggeri closed the analysis with another blow: Cristiano doesn’t want to move around so he won’t be exposed. Three voices, the same diagnosis. 🔥 And the context makes the story even stronger: Ronaldo is the only player in history to score at least one goal in six different World Cups, and he already has 10 goals with Portugal, surpassing Eusebio. Historic records in a tournament where, according to football legends, his team is paying for it tactically.
Portugal finished second in Group K and will face Croatia in the round of 32. 💪🏆 Is Cristiano the problem or can he still be the solution?
