🚨🇮🇹🗣️ Fabio Cannavaro [Uzbekistan coach]:
"This is respect. There are many who think that playing in Asia, like Cristiano does, is a waste of time.
But then you come to the World Cup and prove that at 41 you still have a great passion, because you never forget how to play football.
Cristiano remains one of the greatest players in the history of football."
Ils ont commencé à un jour d’intervalle en Allemagne 2006. 20 ans plus tard, Messi et Ronaldo, les 2 vétérans, continuent d’écrire les dernières lignes d’une histoire qui a accompagné toute une génération. Nous avons grandi avec leur rivalité, leurs exploits et leurs records. C’est assez émouvant quand on y pense…
Il a laissé les CF, il a défendu, et il a marqué deux buts. Voilà le Ronaldo qu’on souhaite voir. À modérer car très faible en face, mais c’est à souligner.
Qu’il joue 90 min, ce n’est pas lui le souci : se gérer sur la durée, ce n’est pas son rôle. C’est celui qui est censé être notre entraîneur.
Ça confirme mon tweet de hier j’ai juré Messi met un doubler contre l’Ouzbékistan PERSONNE la ramène wsh il a rater un peno ça a dis il voulait pas battre le record sur peno on se rend pas compte de la propagande

Alf-Inge, père d’Erling Haaland 🇳🇴, s'est confié sur la rivalité entre son fils et Kylian Mbappé 🇫🇷 :
« Je pense qu’ils aiment ce challenge et que ça les MOTIVE.
Kylian est un joueur FANTASTIQUE. Erling est aussi en train de devenir un très grand joueur.
C'EST UN DUEL QUI SERA INTÉRESSANT POUR L'AVENIR. » 🤩

🚨 Thierry Henry on Cristiano Ronaldo letting Nuno Mendes take the free-kick that made it 2-0:
🗣️ “For years, people have tried to paint Cristiano Ronaldo as someone who only cares about goals and personal records. But moments like this completely destroy that narrative.”
“He could have taken the free-kick himself. Nobody would have questioned it. Instead, he trusted Nuno Mendes and gave him the opportunity to shine.”
“That is what true leadership looks like. It's not always about being the hero, it's about empowering the players around you.”
“A selfish player demands every set piece and every moment of glory. Cristiano did the opposite. He put the team first, and the team benefited.”
“Great captains don't just lead with goals, they lead with trust, sacrifice, and belief in their teammates. Ronaldo showed all of that today.”
“So to everyone who says Cristiano isn't a team player... what do you have to say now?”
👏 Respect, Cristiano Ronaldo.
🚨🚨 ROBERTO MARTINEZ on CRISTIANO:
“The goals were only a matter of time.
Cristiano’s movements are the best for a classic striker inside the box, and today the ball finally went in.
But he is still creating chances in every match, and that is the hardest thing.”
🚨🇵🇹 Cristiano: “I know that whoever works hard, God helps him. It was a tough week, a dark one, it started as if I had retired from football”.
But I held on as I always hold on because I believe in work more than football. It was tough, I have to admit, but we came back”.
🚨🗣️ Zlatan Ibrahimović on Cristiano Ronaldo's first-half performance for Portugal:
"Yesterday, Lionel Messi scored two goals and the entire football world started asking the same question..."
"How would Cristiano Ronaldo respond?"
"Well, now we have the answer." 👀
"Two goals before halftime."
"Not one. Two."
"This is why I laugh when people say Ronaldo is finished."
"Finished players don't walk into World Cup matches and dominate like this."
"Finished players don't carry this level of pressure at his age."
"Finished players don't keep proving people wrong year after year."
"The funny thing is that after every quiet game, people rush to write Ronaldo's football obituary."
"Then he scores again."
"And again."
"And again."
"Today wasn't only about the goals."
"Look at his movement. Look at his leadership. Look at how much attention he attracts from defenders."
"Even the free-kick goal from Nuno Mendes started because Ronaldo made the right decision."
"Most strikers would have tried to take the glory for themselves."
"Ronaldo saw the better option and Portugal benefited."
"That's experience. That's football intelligence."
"People think greatness is only about scoring."
"Sometimes greatness is knowing when not to score."
"Yesterday Messi reminded the world who he is."
"Today Ronaldo has done exactly the same."
🔥🇵🇹
"Messi scored two."
"Ronaldo answered with two."
"And somehow people still think these legends are finished."
"Football keeps changing. The names at the top somehow stay the same." 🐐
Bizarre, dans un match avec des espaces, CR7 arrive à s’illustrer et reste toujours efficace devant le but.
Vu la physionomie face à la RDC, je trouvais que les critiques avaient été trop virulentes contre lui. Et les comparaisons avec Messi, Haaland, Mbappé peu pertinentes.
🚨
Were you just saying to the cameras now, "I've come back, I've come back?”
CRISTIANO:
“Just so they don't forget, just so they don't forget.”
Is this the best response you can give to the criticisms?
CRISTIANO: “Always, 23 years it’s been like this.”
