On June 22, GOAL website published an analysis of Portugal’s tactics, suggesting that Portuguese stars should embrace Cristiano Ronaldo’s “selfishness.”
Despite missing two golden goal-scoring opportunities against the Czech Republic, Ronaldo remains untouchable in the squad. Under Martinez, he is still the team’s figurehead, but Portugal’s other players seem to have one objective: pass the ball to Ronaldo. Is this approach effective?
Bruno Fernandes is highly involved on the pitch and delivered the game’s most impressive assist to Ronaldo. However, his position is too deep, robbing him of the chance to fully utilize his attacking prowess. Martinez needs to grant B Fee more freedom to do what he does best.
Diaz deserves a chance. When he replaced Leao against the Czechs, Portugal became more aggressive. A partnership between Ronaldo and Diaz could be exciting, given Diaz’s versatility, adaptability, and unselfishness as an attacker.
In conclusion, Martinez needs to shift his tactical mindset. To get the best out of Ronaldo, he must enable those around him to excel. Ronaldo can be Portugal’s leader, but he can no longer be the sole focal point.
