41 years old, six World Cups, and he still has to answer to someone. 🔥 From the Cidade do Futebol complex in Oeiras, Lisboa, Cristiano Ronaldo stood before the press with that phrase before boarding for the United States: direct, straightforward, and with the confidence of someone who knows exactly what he did this season.
The doubts arose because CR7 didn’t score in the last two warm-up friendlies against Chile and Nigeria, and also because of an injury he suffered in March during Al Nassr’s victory over Al Fayha. But the stat Ronaldo put on the table is undeniable: 28 goals in 30 matches in the Saudi Pro League this season. 💪 There isn’t much more to discuss.
It will be his sixth consecutive World Cup, tying Messi and Guillermo Ochoa in appearances, and he arrives as the tournament’s all-time leading scorer. Portugal is in Group K alongside Colombia, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Uzbekistan. “We go with a lot of hope”, Ronaldo concluded. And with that phrase, he already put everyone on notice.
