🗣️ Zinedine Zidane on Cristiano Ronaldo:

“First, congratulations to Messi for his performance and hat trick. At 39 years old, what he is doing is incredible, but today I want to speak about Cristiano Ronaldo.

Today is Ronaldo’s day. Whenever he plays, football wins because we are watching one of the greatest players in history. People talk about his age, but his ambition, mentality, and desire to win remain exactly the same.

Portugal have a fantastic squad. Their midfield is full of quality—Bruno Fernandes, Vitinha, João Neves, and Bernardo Silva can compete with any midfield in the world. Technically, they are outstanding players.

However, sometimes I feel Ronaldo does not receive the same support that Messi receives with Argentina. Argentina understand how to maximize Messi’s strengths and help him influence the game. Portugal have the quality to do the same for Ronaldo.

Cristiano has spent nearly twenty years giving everything to his country. He has scored goals, broken records, won trophies, and carried Portugal through some of their greatest moments. If this is one of his final chances to achieve something special again with Portugal, then everyone around him should be helping make that dream a reality.

What makes Ronaldo special is not only his talent but his mentality. He never stops believing, never stops competing, and never stops fighting for victory.

That is why today I will be watching Cristiano Ronaldo. Not because he has something left to prove, but because legends deserve to be appreciated while they are still playing.” 🇵🇹🐐

🚨🗣️ Thierry Henry on Cristiano Ronaldo vs DR Congo:

“Let me be very clear about something.”

🗣️ “Every time Cristiano Ronaldo steps onto a pitch, people expect miracles.”

🗣️ “And every time, he delivers something that keeps him in the conversation of the greatest ever.”

🗣️ “Tonight against DR Congo, it was another example of what he still brings to football.”

🗣️ “His movement inside the box, his positioning, his mentality… these are things you cannot teach.”

🗣️ “Even when the game is difficult, even when Portugal are under pressure, he is always there waiting for one moment.”

🗣️ “That's why he has scored goals for so many years at the highest level.”

🗣️ “People keep asking if Cristiano is finished.”

🗣️ “Finished players don't create chances every game.”

🗣️ “Finished players don't scare defenders the moment they enter the box.”

🗣️ “Finished players don't still decide matches in World Cups.”

🗣️ “Now, let's address the comparison with Messi.”

🗣️ “This is where people make football too simple.”

🗣️ “Messi and Ronaldo are not the same type of players.”

🗣️ “Cristiano is about efficiency, power, mentality, and finishing.”

🗣️ “Messi is about control, creativity, vision, and making the game look like art.”

🗣️ “You cannot judge them with the same formula.”

🗣️ “They changed football in different ways.”

🗣️ “Cristiano turned himself into a machine built for goals.”

🗣️ “Messi was born with football in his feet.”

🗣️ “And that's why this debate will never die.”

🗣️ “But what people forget is this: greatness is not only about style… it's about impact.”

🗣️ “And Ronaldo's impact is still massive.”

🗣️ “Even against teams like DR Congo, he demands attention from every defender.”

🗣️ “He opens space for others.”

🗣️ “He changes defensive structures just by being on the pitch.”

🗣️ “That is respect at the highest level.”

🗣️ “So when people say he is finished, I don't agree.”

🗣️ “I see a player who is still dangerous.”

🗣️ “Still competitive.”

🗣️ “Still hungry.”

🗣️ “And still capable of deciding games.”

🗣️ “As for the Messi comparison…”

🗣️ “I will say this.”

🗣️ “We are lucky.”

🗣️ “We are lucky to have lived in a generation where both exist at the same time.”

🗣️ “Because once they are gone, people will realize how special this era really was.”

🔥🐐🇵🇹🇦🇷

🗣️ “Ronaldo is not finished.”

🗣️ “Messi is not replaceable.”

🗣️ “And football will never be the same again.”

After Pokemon Conquest, I completely trusted Koei Tecmo's ability to make great Pokemon games.

After Pokemon Pokopia, my desire for Pokemon Conquest 2 has only risen.
