After a confirmation from Lionel Messi that the World Cup in Qatar will be his last one, another great player of our time, Cristiano Ronaldo confirmed that too at today’s press conference. In a surprise appearance in front of the journalists, considering that Portugal play their opener against Ghana in three days, national team captain talked about a lot of subjects, from his goal scoring record and a weird handshake with Bruno Fernandes, to the chess match with Messi for the Louis Vuitton commercial.Cristiano Ronaldo: “Stop asking my teammates about me. Ask them about the World Cup. I don’t care what other people think. I speak when I want to.”“I am bulletproof. I wear an iron suit.” pic.twitter.com/7vnmXuubDI— TC (@totalcristiano) November 21, 2022 When it comes to the World Cup title, even Ronaldo is unselfish and doesn’t care about his goal scoring record.“It may seem vanity, but I keep saying that I don’t chase the records, they chase me. It would be great to beat our Eusebio’s record, of course, but honestly it’s not something that keeps me awake at night, nor am I going to stop eating because of it. If they told me that Portugal would win the World Cup without my goals, I would sign for the bottom, I swear on my children” said the Portuguese.Group H – CR7’s last dance; the Black Stars, the Navigators and the Tigers all seek revenge on the UrusJust like Messi, Ronaldo has also confirmed this will be his last World Cup and that he would like to finish his international career with a trophy, but stopped short of naming his team favorites.“It would be magical. I don’t lack for anything in life, I had much more than I expected, but it’s a big dream. However, all teams want to win the World Cup and only one team will win it. We will see. I have that hope and that ambition, but let’s think about it calmly. Who is the best, we will see at the end. To win the trophy, we will have to be the best and, if we believe that we are the best, we will be closer to winning. However, you have to prove it on the field” said Ronaldo.It’s ‘now or never’ for Messi and Ronaldo, claims WengerThe football fans were pleasantly surprised with a rare appearance of both Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, who joined forces for the Louis Vuitton commercial. The Portuguese joked that he would like to checkmate Messi at the World Cup, just like he did in the video, and also confirmed this will be his last world tournament ever.“I’ve wanted to do a campaign with Louis Vuitton for a long time. It was a dream and it was another dream come true. Everyone knows the greatness of this brand. It will be my last World Cup, yes. I’m focused and I think everything will go well. There are many checkmates, not only in chess, but also in life. I would really like to be the one to checkmate Messi. It would be magical. It happened in chess, we’ll see if it happens in football” said Ronaldo.’We will all remember Ronaldo, but who will remember Ten Hag in 5 years?’Of course, the recent interview about Manchester United is still a topic, and the Red Devils’ forward (not for long) was happy to talk about that and about the weird handshake with Fernandes upon his arrival in the national team.“In my life, timing is timing. Everyone in the national team knows me, players, coaches, staff. They’ve known me since I was 11, they know how I am and what I think. The group is fine, they are confident. The recent episode that happened to me, as well as others that may arise with other athletes, will not influence the group. They may influence the athlete, but not the group. It was just a joke between me and Bruno, the plane arrived late. I said to Bruno: ‘Hey man, you arrived late, did you come by boat?’ But there was a big fuss around it. As with Cancelo, he was sad in training, I just wanted to pull him up, nothing more. Everything that revolves around Cristiano is always controversial. There are always conversations, there is a lot of talk. But the atmosphere between us is excellent. There is no problem. Stop asking my teammates about me. Ask them about the World Cup. I don’t care what other people think. I speak when I want to. I am bulletproof. I wear an iron suit” explained Ronaldo.WORLD CUPSunday, Nov 20thQatar – Ecuador 0-2 (0-2)/Valencia 16 pen, 31/Monday, Nov 21st16:00: (1.35) England (4.60) Iran (10.5) B19:00: (6.00) Senegal (3.70) Netherlands (1.62) A22:00: (2.65) USA (3.00) Wales (2.90) BThursday, Nov 24th16:00: (1.80) Uruguay (3.40) S.Korea (4.90) H19:00: (1.43) Portugal (4.20) Ghana (8.50) H
