This is brilliant. Because clearly Ronaldo got obsessed with Eusebio's record against Korea and forgot about passing to his teammates. Furthermore, he pulled a mini-Porto set-piece failure by keeping his back to the ball for Japan's first goal. The coach has to send a message that the player isn't bigger than the team. He also started all three matches at age 37.
It's also a moment to acknowledge the generational shift.
Love how this diva is not getting special treatment anymore. But you can guarantee if it was 30 year old Ronaldo he would have played regardless of what he did.
