Former Portugal Assistant Coach Believes Cristiano Ronaldo Should Not Have Played Every Minute at World Cup

Cristiano Ronaldo has spent much of his career refusing to come off the pitch. But even his former Portugal colleagues believe there were moments when the team needed him to make way. Ricardo Carvalho, who worked alongside Roberto Martinez, has now admitted that the Portuguese captain should have been substituted earlier during the World Cup. Speaking to former Chelsea midfielder John Obi Mikel, Carvalho acknowledged the difficult position Martinez faced while managing a 41-year-old Ronaldo.
