could be a whole lot of reasons: he’s still the symbol of this Portugal team, after all. He must have a say in the locker rooms (and why shouldn’t he, considering); Martinez must think of him as the glue that keeps the squad together (same reason why he must have brought Pepe along, probably). And yeah, probably sponsors too.
We had plenty of players play 2 hours of football yesterday and he really didn’t do many subs or did them late. And what is worst is that the same happened a few days ago with the same group of players.
Pepe did much better performance, and Jota might have been a better starter for Portugal. CR as a super sub (think Muller for Germany) could have been an option

By the way, as a Belgian, sorry for Portuguese people: be ready to see him make a lot of unpopular, unreasonable decisions
Yea I’m already sick of him

Unbelievable decisions
Interesting, thanks.

I just watched one Portugal match, but Pepe was extraordinary. Ronaldo on the other hand…
