Euro 2024: Martinez under pressure to bench Ronaldo
Arsenal legend Paul Merson has advised Portugal manager Roberto Martinez to bench captain Cristiano Ronaldo for their first two games in Euro 2024. Merson suggests that Martinez should secure qualification to the knockout stages before considering playing the Al-Nassr forward in their final group game.
Euro 2024 kicks off this Friday in Germany, with Portugal placed in Group F alongside Turkey, the Czech Republic, and Georgia.
Discussing Portugal’s prospects in the tournament, Merson told Sportskeeda: “Portugal is an aging team but they have a lot of experience within the squad. Ronaldo is still their captain and banging in the goals in Saudi Arabia, but I think they will see what he is like in the camp and take a call on his selection. I would personally leave him out of the first two games and get qualification sorted before bringing him back for the final encounter.”
