By Ayush Verma Modified 28 Sep 2022 Follow Us Comment Share Portugal skipper Cristiano Ronaldo Former Premier League manager Carlos Carvalhal has come to the defense of Portugal striker Cristiano Ronaldo. He slammed the Portuguese critics for not standing with the icon when he needed their support. The former Swansea City manager said Ronaldo is a national hero. He added that those turning their backs against him during his bad days 'won't blush with shame' when Ronaldo leads Portugal against Spain in the UEFA Nations League on Tuesday, 27 September. Portuguese media questioned Fernando Santos' decision to start with Cristiano Ronaldo against the Czech Republic despite his poor run of form since the beginning of the new season. Portugal secured an easy 4-0 win over their rivals on Sunday, thanks to a Diogo Dalot brace and a goal each from Bruno Fernandes and Diogo Jota.

Portugal s clash against Spain important for Cristiano Ronaldo s lost form

As Portugal get ready to face Spain in their last Nations League match, Cristiano Ronaldo will look to break his duck and return to goalscoring ways. Ronaldo's form will be instrumental to Portugal's success in the upcoming World Cup. The 37-year-old has only scored one goal for club and country since the beginning of the 2022-23 season. This has led to several of his critics believing that age is catching up with him. However, Cristiano Ronaldo is one of the few players who has proven his critics wrong time and time again and writing him off before a big international tournament would be a mistake. The five-time Ballon d'Or winner has two months to return to his imperious goalscoring form before Portugal begin their World Cup campaign against Ghana on 24 November.
