A footballer’s best days are 25-32, we don’t rely on him
Portugal international full-back João Cancelo said something about Ronaldo.
British media ‘Tribuna’ reported on the 21st (Korean time) that “João Cancelo told a story that Ronaldo would hate in a recent interview.”
Martinez announced the list of Portugal’s national team for the match against Sweden on Wednesday (Korea time). At 토토사이트, he included Ronaldo in the 32-member reserve squad, but excluded him from the match against Sweden. He joined Diogo Dalot, João Cancelo, Danilu Pereira, Otavio, Juvenneves, Vitinha, and João Félix on the resting list for a friendly match.
Ronaldo has been excluded because Ronaldo, who is on vacation with his family in Saudi Arabia, is taking a break for the Saudi professional league to take a break for the international break. Ronaldo already played the full 90 minutes on Saturday evening, so he took an important break to recover his physical strength.
An indispensable presence in Portugal’s national team
Ronaldo was indispensable for the Portugal national team from the mid-2000s to 2023. Since his debut for the national team at 18, Ronaldo has played 205 games and scored 128 goals for the senior national team.
Ronaldo also showed that he is not dead, scoring 10 goals and two assists in nine matches at the Euro qualifying round. Ronaldo dismissed rumors of his retirement from the national team and said he will prepare to win back the Euro trophy in Germany. “I still have a lot of time left, so I want to participate in Euro 2024. I hope I can play without any problems or injuries.”
Asked if he still wants to play for the national team, Ronaldo said…
Asked if he still wants to play for the national team, Ronaldo replied, “I don’t know how the coach will decide. I’m always ready to help the team, and I can do anything you want. All 24 players are ready to help.”
Contrary to Ronaldo’s wishes, however, teammate João Cancelo had a different idea. In an interview, Cancelo said, “Ronaldo is an important player, and he competed with Messi for the Ballon d’Or for 15 years. However, a soccer player’s best days are between the ages of 25 and 32. Portugal is not entirely dependent on him.”
He will play as a striker for Portugal’s national team
As Cancelo said, Ronaldo is already 39 years old and plays in Saudi Arabia, not Europe, and it is difficult for him to display his abilities among players in their 20s. Nevertheless, Ronaldo, who is recorded as Portugal’s most prolific scorer, will also play as a striker for the Portuguese national team in Euro 2024, with Portugal considered one of the favourites for the Euro championship.
