Cristiano Ronaldo, who leads Portugal’s national football team, struggled during his opening game at the World Cup against DR Congo. Despite being 41 years old, Ronaldo did not manage to score in the game, which ended in a draw with one goal for each side, leading people to doubt his skills. Former French player Thierry Henry, a World Cup winner, criticized Ronaldo, saying that he seemed more concerned about his own achievements rather than those of the whole team.

Speaking on Fox Sports about Ronaldo’s game, Henry mentioned an incident from the second half when Bruno Fernandes could have scored, but was diverted by Ronaldo’s run. Henry said, "The team needs a goal; it’s not just about *you* scoring. Because he wanted to score himself, he got in Bruno Fernandes' way." According to Henry, had Ronaldo made a run towards the six-yard box, the defender would have followed him, creating an easy chance for Bruno Fernandes.

Explaining further, Henry said, "If he had moved towards the six-yard box, the defender would have been forced to make a decision. That would have opened up an easy tap-in opportunity for Bruno Fernandes." "However, Ronaldo moved into the path of the ball, making it easier for the defenders to clear it." He also noted that Bruno Fernandes's reaction was clearly visible at the time; the midfielder wanted Ronaldo to make a forward run to create space, but that did not happen.

Ronaldo is playing in a record-equalling sixth World Cup in men's football history. He holds the record for the most international goals by a male player, with 143 to his name. Although he failed to score against DR Congo, he still has the opportunity to make history in the tournament. If he scores at least one goal in Portugal's remaining matches, he will become the first player in the world to score in six different World Cups.

Portugal did not get the desired result in their opening match and had to share points with DR Congo. Consequently, both Ronaldo and the team will be under pressure to perform better in the next match. It also remains to be seen whether Ronaldo will make any changes to his game following Henry's criticism.
