️Felipe Melo
“I have always believed in Cristiano Ronaldo, and I might be a bit biased when speaking about him.
I am a strong defender of him, even though he doesn’t need it, because he is one of the greatest strikers I have ever seen in football.
I had the opportunity to play against Cristiano Ronaldo many times, and I never doubted his abilities.
And today as well, the Portugal coach showed me that he is a competent and very intelligent coach.
The changes he made made a huge difference in the match.
There were three changes: Ruben Dias, Pedro Neto, and Joao Felix, and they came on very well and gave Portugal a different dynamic.
They also positioned Cristiano in a deeper role as a central striker, and Cristiano showed everything we talked about yesterday.
When it comes to finishing attacks, he is still the best in the world.
That’s why when I spoke about Cristiano in terms of shooting and finishing chances with either the right or left foot, I gave him a perfect score (5 out of 5), because he truly is a great star in football.”
