Former coach of Portugal Paul Bento believes that the Portuguese national team does not particularly depend on the striker Cristiano Ronaldo.
There is one indisputable fact: today the national team no longer depends on Ronaldo as it did a few years ago. He’s the best player he’s ever worked with in terms of talent.
Nothing erases the importance he has for Portugal and for local football, but everything has an end. And everyone decides for himself how and when he wants the story to end.
