I wrote the sentence “Cristiano Ronaldo is the spiritual totem of the Portugal international football team” after watching a translated video of the Portugal football team. One of Ronaldo’s teammates said that. It was in Chinese so I don’t think my translation is good. How can I express the idea “Cristiano Ronaldo is the inspirational leader of the Portugal national football team.”
 
Your second italicised sentence is much more sensible and meaningful than the first.

Leave it at that.
