Cristiano Ronaldo returned to training with Portugal after facing criticism following the team's 1-1 World Cup draw against DR Congo. The 41-year-old forward, who became the oldest outfield player to start a World Cup match, was unable to score in Portugal's opener and came under scrutiny from pundits, including France legend Thierry Henry. Despite questions over his performance, Portugal coach Roberto MartÃnez defended Ronaldo's role in the squad, highlighting his experience and ability to attract defenders. As Portugal prepare for a crucial Group K clash against Uzbekistan, all eyes remain on the veteran star as he looks to make an impact in what could be his final FIFA World Cup.
