Cristiano Ronaldo: “I’m physically fine, haven’t you seen the games?”
The Portuguese international Cristiano Ronaldo has assured that he is “well” physically to face the 2026 World Cup in the United States, Mexico and Canada, in addition to trusting that this generation “is going to bring a lot of joy to the Portuguese” and warning that when things start to get “tighter” we will see “the true champions.”
“We face the World Cup with quite a bit of joy, we know that the World Cup is always a special competition, just like the Euro Cup, and we go with a lot of hope. Physically? I’m fine, haven’t you seen the games?” he told reporters from the Cidade do Futebol de Oeiras, headquarters of the Portuguese Football Federation.
Furthermore, he stated that they will only know “in the end” if the Portuguese team is a candidate for the title. “It is a very good generation, but there are factors that we cannot control, such as the games, winning or not winning, is the most important point. I think it is a generation that is going to bring a lot of joy to the Portuguese,” he said.
On the other hand, the 40-year-old Al-Nassr forward has acknowledged that the preparation for the World Cup was “exhausting” because they worked “hard.” “In the matches, victories will prevail, but the most important thing is when the ball starts rolling on the 17th, in the first match,” he stressed.
