Valery Karpin, head coach of the Russian national team and Rostov, said that Cristiano Ronaldo recently stopped playing for Manchester United and the Portuguese national team.
“I can’t explain because I didn’t watch the Portuguese national team’s games with or without Cristiano. But at Manchester United, Ronaldo also didn’t shine anymore, he didn’t play all the time. Probably Ten Hag and Santos have a reason for this. I don’t know exactly what’s wrong, “For that, you have to train Cristiano Ronaldo and see him every day. I don’t think he was imprisoned from a good life,” says Karpin. sports24.
If you remember, the 37-year-old midfielder was left in the bench in the last match of the Portugal national team in the World Cup held in Qatar. He only took part in the 74th minute of the match against Switzerland. Goncalo Ramos, who replaced him at the start, scored a hat-trick.
