Chirico: 'Here's how Ronaldo is. Juve, Sarri lied or are there other problems?

Portugal-Lithuania I really don't want to lose it. I am absolutely interested to see how Cristiano Ronaldo will play in a game in which his national team will absolutely have to win and he, if possible, score goals. In the last 4 qualifying races for the 2020 European Championships, CR7 has always scored (as many as 7 goals, which obviously do not count for the stubborn supporters of his "decadence"), so I expect him to do it this time against the last of the group. For someone like Cristiano it shouldn't be that complicated, if it's okay.Because the point is everything here: how is CR7 really? For Sarri he has a little problem with his knee, with interest in the collateral, and this would ultimately be limiting his performance; for Fernando Santos, Portugal coach, Ronaldo, on the other hand, is fine, and will in fact be on the field regularly, to lead his National team against Lithuania.

Here's why I want to watch the Lusitanian game, just to see how Cristiano plays. If this time he disappoints, or will return to being the protagonist.

Should this occur – as I believe, and I hope – this second hypothesis, it would be natural to wonder why Ronaldo is only disappointing with Juventus lately. Do you find yourself with Sarri's game? Do you not find your ideal partners in the current attack partners to express their football? Does the team not help him? Maybe he'll explain it to us if it's allowed to know.

Or Ronaldo has no problems at all, and is really affected by his physical problem. That Fernando Santos has no interest in highlighting why Cristiano serves him, given that Portugal could also risk being out of the European 2020. With Lithuania first and then Luxembourg, they need 6 points in order to avoid Serbia's possible overtaking, and then CR7 becomes indispensable for making these points. The Lusitanian CT wants to be on the safe side, and avoid feeling reproached for not having called Ronaldo in case of elimination. First of all the defense of the armchair, then the possible physical problems of his best player. Because I really find it hard to believe that Sarri told a lie about Ronaldo's state of form to justify his current low performance. Doesn't seem like the type.

Logica would have liked Cristiano not to respond to the call and stay with the Continassa to take care of himself: 10 days of stop would have been a nice touch. Instead he started anyway, because he (as he said among other things) would only play the Champions League matches and precisely those with the National team, and why Fernando Santos and Portugal need him.

Excuse me, but to beat Lithuania and Luxembourg is Cristiano Ronaldo necessary? The reigning continental champion Portugal, who in the final even defeated France at home with CR7 out due to injury, has no players capable of winning 2 games with more than modest opponents? I do not believe it.
I am therefore convinced that Ronaldo has a few physical problems, which is not serious enough to prevent him from taking the field, but for reasons of Patria he could not stop and treat him.

All that remains is to cross your fingers and hope that, by dint of playing, you will not get worse and return to healthy Turin. Otherwise, we will know who to blame.
