Martinez denies Portuguese Ronaldo Dependence After Nations League Win
Ronaldo’s last-minute goal beat Scotland 1-0 on Sunday despite Portugal’s poor Euro 2024 and Nations League performances. After Ronaldo, who has struggled, rested, this crucial moment occurred.
Martinez, the former Belgium manager, denied Ronaldo drives Portugal’s success. “Dependence? His game is great. Non-dependent. He’s helpful “Martinez. He said Ronaldo is important but not dependent, praising him for creating opportunities and spaces.
Portugal won their first two Nations League games. Next month’s Poland and Scotland matches will test the team. Martinez’s comments show his faith in the team beyond their star.
