Portugal defender Ruben Dias expressed support for Cristiano Ronaldo as the team readies for their second Group K match in the World Cup. Despite criticism following a lackluster performance against DR Congo, where Ronaldo failed to make a significant impact, Dias emphasized the squad’s backing for the veteran player.
Dias highlighted Ronaldo’s experience in handling media pressure and emphasized that criticism is not solely directed at one player but involves the entire team. He acknowledged that scrutiny is part of the competition and stated that the team is focused on their upcoming matches in the tournament.
Portugal is set to face Uzbekistan on June 23 before concluding their group stage against Colombia five days later.
