Popi will ignore the 99 times 4-3-3 defeated 4-4-2 but immediately the reverse happens just once he starts reminding us how superior 4-4-2 is and it's always funny to see.

The whole of Portugal, and the only striker people can point to as Cristiano Ronaldo’s replacement is Gonçalo Ramos.

Think about that for a second.

For years, Portugal have produced world-class talent in every area of the pitch. Elite midfielders. Elite defenders. Elite wingers. Yet the No. 9 position has remained a problem. Even Ronaldo himself wasn’t born a striker. He was shaped from a midfielder into a winger, and then into a goalscoring machine.

So when people like Rio Ferdinand say he should come off the bench, the question is simple: for who exactly?

Where is the world-class striker waiting to take his place?

There is no ruthless, undeniable No. 9 banging down the door. No generational striker forcing the issue. Just endless debate, opinions, and empty expectations.

The reality is that, at 41, Ronaldo is still the most feared goalscorer in the squad and still the player his teammates look for when they need a goal.

The truth is simple: Portugal’s biggest problem isn’t Ronaldo starting. It’s that after all these years, they still haven’t produced a striker good enough to make anyone forget him.

Not one.
