Fans Urge Portugal to Sub Ronaldo After Quiet First Half vs DR Congo

Fans Urge Portugal to Sub Ronaldo After Quiet First Half vs DR Congo — 1 of 3
1 / 3

In the first half of Portugal’s match with DR Congo, Cristiano Ronaldo made almost no impact. He attempted zero dribbles, zero shots and lost nearly every duel. João Neves opened the scoring for Portugal, but DR Congo levelled just before halftime through Yoane Wissa. Ronaldo looked dejected as he walked off at the break. Social media users were quick to criticise. Some argued he should not return for the second half, calling his performance “like cardio”. Others joked they hadn’t even noticed him on the pitch. Fans will be watching closely to see if the five-time Ballon d’Or winner responds after the break. Expectations are high after Lionel Messi’s recent hat-trick against Algeria.

Do you think Portugal should really bench Ronaldo after a first half with zero shots or dribbles?

How might Portugal adjust their attacking approach if Ronaldo doesn't start the second half?

Ronaldo's stats alone don't tell the full story, but losing nearly every duel is hard to ignore at all.

I get the frustration, but substituting him midgame might disrupt team rhythm even more than his quiet performance.

Maybe giving fresh legs on the wing would help, but rotating Ronaldo off the bench could balance experience and energy.
