Fans on social media were less impressed after images were created by Cristiano Ronaldo Jr's Under 15 debut for Portugal.
After receiving his first call-up for the national team last week, Ronaldo JR, 14, was mentioned on the bench for the collision of Portugal with Japan on the Vlatko Markovic International Tournament in Croatia.
He came up as a replacement in the 54th minute when Portugal took a convincing 4-1 victory.
Ronaldo JR put on the No 7 shirt on his debut, the same sweater that his father has worn famous in Man United, Real Madrid and Juventus.
But it would be reasonable to say that the young person did not precisely emulate his father's ability on the field, which led a fan to label a selection of 'nepotism', and others who turned their nose at his highlights.
A user wrote on X: 'This is one of the greatest cases of nepotism that I have seen recently. He is nowhere near the level of the other young people in the team. '
'It is true that the body language is switched off and the way in which it does not seem to be at the level of the rest on the field. That is clear, “said another user.
A third wrote: 'He has no talent. He is weak in passing, dribbling and physical contact. There is also no football school with a football heritage and a clear philosophy in which he trained. '
Ronaldo, 40, represented the Portugal U15s in 2001 in 2001 before he quickly accelerated through the youth ranks.
He became Portugal's leading goal scorer of all time with 136 goals from 219 performances, and won the European Championship in 2016 and Nations League in 2019.
Ronaldo Sr has turned 40 and still plays for Al-Nassr in Saudi Arabia, while Ronaldo JR fits for the Saudi side of the Saudi side.
He has spoken about dreams in the same team as his son before hanging his boots, and JR made his debut for Portugal's U15s on Tuesday indicated that this could still be a realistic goal.
Ronaldo SR made his senior Portugal debut in 2003 at the age of 18 and seems to play in his sixth World Cup next year.
His son will be 15 next month and may have to accelerate his development if he besides Ronaldo Sr.
