Di Cristiano Ronaldo matter don dey drag for some time now, as plenty fans bin condemn former Portugal coach Roberto Martinez on why e go insist say make Ronaldo start matches during dis summer World Cup.

At 41 years old, Ronaldo no be di same explosive and energetic player wey e be bifor, and many supporters believe say im regular place for di starting line-up sometimes hold di team back instead of helping dem move forward.

Delgado, wey be Portuguese football journalist, tell BBC Radio 5 Live say: "I no tink say way back dey. For di statement, Cristiano Ronaldo tok say im go return to di national team, but for dat same statement, e call Jorge Jesus liar three different times."

E add say di kind strong accusations wey Ronaldo make against im coach fit make am very difficult for both men to work togeda again, even though di Portugal manager don tok say di door still open for di star player return.

"For di opinion polls wey dem conduct for Portugal about dis wahala, only 15% of Portuguese pipo support Ronaldo and pipo believe say e owe am plenty, but im time don pass and e need to understand dat.

"Di problem be say Ronaldo no understand am. E still want kontinu to play like person wey be 24 years old instead of 41.

"Tins no go eva remain di same again. No mata wetin happun, weda e play again or dem organise farewell match for am, tins no go ever remain di same again.

"Wetin Ronaldo do for Portuguese football na sometin unique and incredible and we gatz to tank am for all di service wey e give Portugal. But at 41, e no get place for Portugal best XI."

Al-Nassr forward Ronaldo don score 146 goals in 234 appearances for Portugal, both of dem na world records, and e help dem win Euro 2016 and di Nations League two times.

E no look like say Ronaldo go retire from di national team bifor e reach di 1,000-goal mark wey e dey chase for club and kontri, as e currently get 980 goals.

But don im actions make di situation impossible to manage?

Wen e come to fans, opinion appear divided.

Di posters read for Portuguese: "Tank you Cristiano Ronaldo for evritin wey you do for Portugal. You go always remain our captain.

"Jorge Jesus no fit handle di job. E no show enough understanding. E treat di captain wrongly. Too much ego."

For di Denmark game, some fans wear T-shirts wey spell out 'Love you Jesus' while odas wear Ronaldo merchandise from head to toe.
