Portugal national football team is on the verge of imploding in the US. The main spark is none other than Cristiano Ronaldo. After the disappointing draw in the opening match against Congo, an interview by João Neves made the star's ego explode and started a real war. Cristiano Ronaldo has never accepted a secondary role in the dispute for protagonism with Lionel Messi. This attitude, for sure, made him evolve as a player. However, wanting to impose his talent on his teammates was his great sin. Everyone who plays or has played alongside him already knows: it's forbidden to say that Lionel Messi is the best in history. And João Neves wasn't afraid to tell the truth. The Portugal national team has a talented squad, with players like Bernardo Silva and João Félix, who can make a difference in the World Cup. But Cristiano Ronaldo's ego may end up costing them the golden chance to win the title. He needs to learn to work as a team and accept others' opinions. So, the question is: will Cristiano Ronaldo be able to overcome his ego and lead the Portugal national team to the title? The answer will only come with time. Meanwhile, the Portugal national team needs to focus on playing well and working as a team. With the help of players like Pepe and Rúben Dias, the team can achieve its goal. And if Cristiano Ronaldo learns to control his ego, the Portugal national team can become a force to be reckoned with in the World Cup.
