@football_news.433: 🇵🇹 Bruno Fernandes has spoken out honestly after all the criticism aimed at Cristiano Ronaldo and the way Portugal national football team have been playing lately: 💬 “Yeah, I’ve seen all the criticism. I know some people have been talking about me and a few other lads in the Portugal squad, saying we’re not doing enough to support Cristiano. I completely understand the passion from the fans because Cristiano means so much to this country. But sometimes people don’t really understand what’s actually happening out there on the pitch.” “Cristiano is our captain. He’s our leader. He’s the greatest player ever to represent Portugal and one of the biggest icons football has ever seen. Every single player in this squad has massive respect for him. What he’s done for this country over the last twenty years is honestly unreal… and probably something we’ll never witness again.” “But football is a team game, simple as that. Some fans think every attack has to end with a pass to Ronaldo, but top-level football doesn’t work like that, mate. The main objective is always making the best decision for the team. If Cristiano is in the best position, of course we’ll look for him. But if another teammate is in more space, we HAVE to make that pass instead.” “People keep asking why I don’t always pass him the ball. The answer is simple. We step onto that pitch to WIN matches, not to force stats. If Cristiano has the ball, he can pass to me. If I have the ball, I can pass to him. That’s how football has always worked. Nobody in this team is playing for personal numbers.” “As for free kicks and set pieces, Cristiano has NEVER forced anything. Sometimes I feel confident and ask to take it myself, and he fully respects that. The relationship between us is great and there’s nothing but respect both ways.” “At the end of the day, we’re here to fight for the Portugal badge, make our fans proud, and bring trophies back home. We’re not here just to help Cristiano score a brace or grab a hat-trick. We’re here to help Portugal win. That’s the responsibility of every player who wears this shirt.” #Godfirst #videoviral #foootballfans #creatorsearchinsights

manesh :

Best decision to make is pass to Ronaldo

vkni752o :

you don't pass to him tho even when he is free. Only 5 assists from bruno to ronaldo after 8 years of playing with the national team. More than 100 games

Dio :

I feel like am the only one who read all that

H :

Bruno Fernandez will be forgotten once Ronaldo Retires, no more Portugal for me

Omusawo wo 👊🏾 :

Just pass the ball to the person who knows how to score

§c63§ :

Just passs to him I don’t care😭

サノ・マンジロ :

Portugal could’ve do so much goals if they worked together not hating on Ronaldo

MartinezTheButcher🔪 :

Bruno is saying lies Some moments Ronaldo was free in space and the went pass back. Mid team

Snito :

So here mendes was in better position than Ronaldo

Paco Rojas :

Yeah, if you want to win, you have to create better chances for your striker, that's how football works.

Markusistheqoat :

Just saw Messi game where literally all team feeding him tap ins

MalacH :

To those saying "Ronaldo is the problem"... this is just one of the many examples from the match: 1. Ronaldo drops into midfield, pulling the Congo defenders out of position. 2. CR7 calls for the ball to draw the defence even more, creating a huge pocket of space behind them. He then lays it off back to Bruno, who should immediately play the ball into that space and give Portugal's wingers a chance to attack. Ronaldo even positions himself for a possible sprint. 3. Bruno receives the ball and, once again, turns around and passes it back to Portugal's defence for absolutely no reason. Opportunity wasted.... Therefore, Ronaldo is not the problem!

TØNY CRÜÎZ :

y'all should do zidane's tactics and just give Cristiano the F-ing ball

armando0o_7 :

Bruno: Some fans think every attack has to end with a pass to Ronaldo, but top-level football doesn’t work.| It worked out 3 times with Zidan when they played like that they won the Champions League 3 times just with this method

💫SPARKS 💥 :

the day he retires Portugal we be like any other team

Underwatch :

Why does messi play good „mate“ its because the whole national team including the coach glaze this man because he IS a legend and they properly use him at his position they feed him with constant passes and messi does what he does best just like ronaldo… he scores

fodo876 :

He would rather loose the game than pass to Ronaldo... Ffs

Star kid 😜󱢏 :

bro if you need win and goal just pass it to Ronaldo other wise your can't score like him so pass it to him no matter what okay

Iyass—627 :

®️ :

True that not every attack has to end with a pass to Ronaldo, BUT you dont need to avoid him in the game. it's too obvious

Nana Ama Vicentia :

All these explanations are not needed for now, just pass the ball to Ronaldo
