Portugal, Cristiano Ronaldo breaks silence

“A group too united to be broken by outside forces.”

Overtaken in the hierarchies of coach Fernando Santos by Gonçalo Ramos – author of a hat-trick in the match against Switzerland in which he was deployed as a starter in his place – criticized for some post-match attitudes, as well as already the subject of reproaches on social media, and referred to as a possible voluntary ‘defector’ in the run-up to the Asian kermesse, Cristiano Ronaldo has decided to break his silence after the controversy of the last few days.

CR7 still feels like a protagonist. He wants to continue to play a role in Portugal’s exciting ride toward what would be the dream of a lifetime: winning the world title. Through his Twitter profile, the former Manchester United player spoke as a true captain. Thus silencing, at least for now, speculation about him.

“A group too united to be broken by outside forces. A nation too brave to be frightened by any opponent. A team in the true sense of the word, who will fight for the dream until the end! Believe with us! Go Portugal!” the five-time Ballon d’Or winner wrote on his profile.
