Gabby Agbonlahor INSISTS Cristiano Ronaldo STILL Playing For Portugal Is A HINDERANCE 😬 | talkSPORT

ninth 900th career goal in Portugal's two one win over Croatia is record extending a hundred and thirty first goal for his national team comes just a few days after he revealed. has two plans on retiring. I mean, at court there's got it's gotta come to an end at some point, but I do like the fact that he is saying I'm still in my best prime position, but I agree what you're saying. But if you watched the euros. Yeah, and you know I would we forget them way he didn't do anything. And for me, he probably hindered all the players being played and I think he him playing that many games probably cost multiple. I know he can because that people say that's hard since not his fault, but you've had your time and you but you still got, you know, you've still got one takes. But have you got one takes at the highest level with Portugal? There's a reason why he's playing in Saudi Arabia. It's the reason why it got him let go of Manchester United. There's a reason why he's not playing in Europe. I just think Portugal got so many exciting players that were left on the bench during their euros. Ronaldo for me will want to go to the World Cup. He's not just carrying on to play nationly. No, that's it. The end goal is like retirement the World Cup. But if I'm multi as I'm like, so now don't show again it's what he said. He doesn't want to be a bench player, he said that didn't it? It says like if I'm in the squad or want to be a starter. Yeah, so you got that problem. So it's a hard one for the manager because is Ronaldo as big as Portugal? that's the problem you've got. When it kind of feels it, there isn't it? That's what I'm saying. Yeah, you've got he got dropped. Do you remember? Yeah, then three different manager and then that striker that he got him replaced by command and scored freedom. And then that striker that you've got to replace by command and scored freedom in that game of a trick. But I just think you've got so many options, but the the reports because you've not got a standout striker. If not, that's how any you're walking to is banging in 20 goals and it's not league. You've got like the hours who's a very good player on the left, you've got jotter who can play as a false nine. You know, you've got netter as well. So you could play them free with Fernandez cup and other silver. I got so many options, but I've got a standout clinical golf score. They've got so many options, but I'm not going to stand out. Clinical goalscorer that you'd say when out there, you have got no choice. You've got to be on the bench. That's why maybe Marty is still keeping him around. Still, I mentioned 900. It's ridiculous. It's hard to it is hard to criticize Ronaldo because you get so much stick when you ever do, you know, like our social team clip up and he said to remember now that you start getting like people from placing the world. You don't even know about start messaging you saying, how dare you? Who are you to speak on the team? Because he's been so top hasn't it. He's kept himself in top shape, but never the affects athlete, athlete professional. But our job is to speak the truth isn't it? Yeah, but that's why he's saying he has no plans to retire as of yet. Do you know what? He's one of the stories from last night, but he isn't the biggest story, the biggest story which you might talk about in more detail a little bit later on, San Marino won their first ever competitive game against Spanish, you're not it. It was a little time. I won nil win, which actually coincidentally you have to go back 20 years for the last ever win. in terms of any game or football, so friend and these etc., which was against Liechtenstein in 2004. They don't mind playing them, but they won their first ever competitive game, indeed. Right, okay.
