Thierry Henry Criticizes Cristiano Ronaldo's Selfish Play

Cristiano Ronaldo and Portugal started the World Cup poorly.

Thierry Henry said Ronaldo was too focused on scoring himself, reminding him that the team needs to score, not just him.

Portugal drew with DR Congo despite taking an early lead, with Joao Neves scoring and Yoane Wissa equalizing for DR Congo.

Ronaldo tried to score the winner but missed a crucial chance, and Bruno Fernandes was waiting to shoot but was blocked by Ronaldo.

Henry pointed out that if Ronaldo had made a selfless run, Fernandes would have had a clear shot at the goal.

Henry said on Fox Sports that the team's goal is more important than individual goals.

Henry explained that if Ronaldo had made a different run, the defender would have followed him, making it easier for Fernandes to score.

Ronaldo's selfish play made it easier for the defense to intercept the ball, and Fernandes was frustrated.

Henry emphasized that the team's success is more important than individual success, and Ronaldo's actions did not help the team.

Bruno Fernandes was visibly upset with Ronaldo's play.

Ronaldo has not scored in 10 major tournament games, with 33 shots without a goal, increasing scrutiny on his role in the team.

Ronaldo last scored for Portugal in the 2022 World Cup, and has not scored in Euro 2024.
