Cuando se está en el firmamento del fútbol mundial, se goza de muchos privilegios, pero también de mucha presión. Cristiano Ronaldo es objeto de todo tipo de críticas por su actuación hasta el momento en la Eurocopa 2012.

Uno de los grandes jugadores del mundo, tuvo una mala actuación en el encuentro entre Portugal y Dinamarca. Dos fallas claras frente a la portería rival estuvieron a punto de poner en serio peligro a su equipo en la competencia, pues un empate hubiera sido fatal para sus aspiraciones. Al final, Ronaldo salvó la tarde gracias un gol de Varela, pero ahí quedó su segunda participación al hilo, completamente desangelada.

El lusitano está sufriendo el mismo fenómeno que su némesis, Lionel Messi, a quien se le critica fuertemente por no rendir lo mismo con la selección argentina, que con el Barcelona.

"Creo que el equipo debe darle más ocasiones para que tenga un buen rendimiento", declaró Luis Figo, histórico delantero de Portugal hace unos días.

Con la victoria de este miércoles, Portugal llegó a tres puntos en el grupo que comparte con Dinamarca, Holanda y Alemania.
