FIFA WC: Criticism Is Not Aimed At Just One Player, Says Portugal Defender Dias
FIFA WC: Portugal defender Ruben Dias has given a vote of confidence to Cristiano Ronaldo as the team begins preparing for its second Group K match in the World Cup.
Ronaldo was singled out for criticism on the day he became the oldest outfield player to start a game in World Cup history in his side's 1-1 draw against DR Congo, after a display in which he touched the ball just 25 times while playing the entire game, while also failing to manage a shot on target, give an assist to a team-mate or beat a rival in an attempted dribble.
A more mobile player could have given Portugal a better outlet in attack, but Dias insists the squad is still behind the 41-year-old, who is playing in his sixth World Cup finals, reported Xinhua.
