I actually, weirdly, I believe it a little bit less than I used to.
First of all, you have the Nations League finals last summer where Ronaldo does play a big part.
He scores against Spain in the final.
He scores the winner against Germany in the semi-final.
The goal against Germany comes from a fierce Ronaldo press, which I didn't think he possessed anymore.
Don't tell Wilson.
I know, but if you watch the goal, if you go back a few phases, Ronaldo charges down the keeper and they win back possession.
I think he is prepared to knuckle down a little bit.
You know, he's sharing the free kick duties at Al Nasser with Joao Felix, which I think is a good sign.
And I think if he does, as Barry says, if he does accept a reduced role or the fact that he's not necessarily going to be the star of this team all of the time, and there are kind of signs that that is happening, that he's sort of recognised that this might, this is probably, you can never say certainly, this is probably his last World Cup.
And whether there's this kind of messy effect where everyone else says, let's win this one, let's run like bastards to win this one for him.
Which is a kind of a mad reason to want to win a World Cup from an outside perspective, but does kind of have a weird internal logic to it.
And the other factor is, who does play up front if Ronaldo doesn't?
Because obviously, we're talking about the talent that's stacked in every other area of the team.
But
If it comes down to it, do you really want... Gonzalo Ramos has had a nothing kind of season, that PSG, Joao Felix, obviously.
Rafael Llao's international scoring record is terrible.
Ronaldo will have a role to play.
And when it comes to marshalling that...
six to 18 yard, you know, area.
