🚨🗣 Luis Figo on the the current situation of the Portugal NT:
"Some of these players clearly don't want him (Ronaldo) on the team. They think he's holding them back, but they forget EVERYTHING he has done for this country. The young Cristiano didn't need anyone else to score goals. He won matches all by himself. He carried Portugal for YEARS. Cristiano Ronaldo IS Portugal. He deserves respect and a farewell worthy of a LEGEND.
When Cristiano got his first call-up, he respected all the senior players. Now we have arrogant kids who have achieved nothing. He is the reason we even believe we can win a World Cup. He is the inspiration for everyone." 🇵🇹🏆
🚨 Leo Messi: “I have a lot of respect and admiration for Cristiano Ronaldo, and for the career he’s had and continues to have. He is still competing at the highest level”.
“The competition with him was on the pitch… Each of us wanted to do the best for our team. Everything stayed on the pitch”.
“Off the pitch, we are two normal guys. We’re not friends because we don’t spend time together, but we’ve always treated each other with a lot of respect”.
