Recently, Cristiano Ronaldo, who is playing football in Saudi Arabia, returned to the mainstream spotlight due to national team matches. In his 200th international match, Ronaldo scored the only goal of the game, helping his team secure a victory against Iceland and proving that he still possesses his exceptional skills. Do you think Ronaldo, with his current abilities, can participate in the next World Cup?
When Ronaldo left the top five European leagues to play in Saudi Arabia, there were doubts about whether he still deserved a place in the Portuguese national team. After all, the decline in performance due to age is a significant concern. Even though Ronaldo scored the only goal against Iceland in this match, there were still questions from the media about whether playing in Saudi Arabia had affected his national team selection. Ronaldo mentioned that people may not understand the level of competition in Saudi Arabia and that the league is gradually improving. He also noted that many players are moving to Saudi Arabia, which demonstrates the league's improvement.
Ronaldo also stated that even though he is 38 years old, whenever he wears the national team jersey, he feels the same dedication as when he first put it on. He mentioned that he doesn't chase records; records chase him. His greatest dream is to help Portugal win more championships, and he hopes he still has the ability to continue playing.
Ronaldo's implication is that his professional career is not over yet. However, considering his age, we can certainly expect to see him on the European stage, perhaps in the upcoming European Championships. But what about the World Cup, which is further down the road? For Ronaldo, winning the World Cup is undoubtedly the ultimate goal, and with his determination, he might be capable of maintaining his form for that moment. |
