Defensive Behavior
Ronaldo doesn’t have many responsibilities in the
defensive process.
He usually plays beside Nani and tries to cut
communication between the defenders and the back
wingers.
As Wales was playing with 3 defenders, his presence was
crucial.
Ronaldo didn’t pressure the defense, waiting for the ball to
get to the wing and then close the space.

the zone to attack the ball.
