Current Generation Of Players Will Make Portugal Proud – Ronaldo

Portugal captain Cristiano Ronaldo has dismissed lingering concerns regarding his physical condition at the 2026 World Cup. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.

Promising to deliver success and bring immense joy to the Portuguese supporters, CR7 brushed aside individual fitness concerns, stressing that he is focusing on his high expectations for the tournament.

Ronaldo added that the current generation of players will bring a lot of joy to the Portuguese people.

His words, “With a lot of joy, we know that the World Cup is always a special competition, just like the Euros, so we go with high hopes.

Physically? I’m good, haven’t you been watching the matches?

We will only know at the end. It is a very good generation, but there are factors we cannot control, such as the games themselves – winning or not winning is the most important point.

I believe this is a generation that will bring a lot of joy to the Portuguese people.

It was tiring because we worked hard. In the matches, victories prevailed, but the most important thing is when the ball starts rolling on the 17th, in the first match.

After that, when things start getting tough, that’s when we’ll see the true champions. It will depend on many factors. I am very positive that things will go well.

The important thing is to finish first in the group, and after that, it’s game by game, step by step, calmly gaining confidence and finding our rhythm.”

WOW.

Ahead of the 2009–10 season, Ronaldo joined Real Madrid for a world record transfer fee at the time of £80 million (€94 million). His contract, which ran until 2015, was worth €11 million per year and contained a €1 billion buy-out clause.
