🚨🚨🎙️ Roy Keane: "You’ll NEVER hear Argentina players disrespect Messi... Neves needs to learn respect"
🎙️ Reporter:
“Roy, what did you make of Joao Neves saying Ronaldo is ‘just another player’ for Portugal?”
🗣️ Roy Keane:
“Listen, I’ve had enough of this. The kid’s 19. He’s played what, 15 games for his country? And he’s talking like Ronaldo’s some squad player.
‘He’s not different from the others’? Are you kidding me? This is Cristiano Ronaldo. Five Ballon d’Ors. Over 200 caps. Goals at every World Cup.
And you’ll NEVER see any Argentina players say that about Messi. NEVER. Those boys respect him so much. They’ll run through walls. They do everything possible to see him win with their last drop of blood.
That’s what a real team does for a legend.
He carried Portugal before Neves was even born. Before he could kick a ball.
You show respect to legends. You don’t sit there at a World Cup press conference and say he’s ‘just here to help like everyone else’.
He IS different. The standards, the mentality, the winning — that’s Ronaldo.
If Neves wants to be great, he should be watching Ronaldo, not dismissing him. Otherwise he’ll be another kid who talked too much and won nothing.”

Record newspaper’s beautiful article on Cristiano Ronaldo:
Record on Cristiano Ronaldo:
There is something strange about Portugal's relationship with Cristiano Ronaldo. For more than two decades, we have demanded the impossible from him. And, almost unbelievably, he often delivered it. Now, as the years pass and football reminds us that no one can defeat time, many seem to have chosen to forget.
They have forgotten who permanently put Portugal on the world football map. They have forgotten who transformed a talented national team into one that was respected and feared. They have forgotten who broke record after record, who wore the Portugal shirt hundreds of times, and who was present in moments of glory as well as moments of pain.
Cristiano Ronaldo is not perfect. No athlete is perfect. No human being is perfect. But the ease with which some people try to reduce his career to a missed penalty, a poor performance, or a disappointing result says more about our collective memory than it does about the player himself.
Football has a simple truth: no one wins alone. When Portugal won, the coaches, teammates, staff, administrators, and, of course, the players on the pitch all won together. But if no one wins alone, then no one draws alone either, and no one loses alone.
When the national team fails to achieve a goal, the responsibility belongs to everyone. It is unfair and irrational to turn one player—even if that player is Cristiano Ronaldo—into the sole face of success or failure.
For years, Ronaldo was criticized for not winning trophies with Portugal. Then he won the European Championship and the Nations League. He was criticized for depending on the team. Then he was accused of trying to do everything by himself. He was criticized when he cried, and criticized when he did not cry. The truth is that many of his critics are not looking for balance; they are simply looking for a new reason to attack him.
Cristiano Ronaldo's legacy goes far beyond goals, trophies, and records. He is a rare example of discipline, longevity, and professionalism. A boy from Madeira who left home as a teenager, faced the toughest challenges in world football, and reached the summit through relentless dedication and daily commitment.
At a time when many talents lose their way, Ronaldo became a global reference point. He raised Portugal's name across every continent. He made millions look at our country with admiration. He inspired generations of young players to believe that talent alone is not enough without hard work.
Even away from the pitch, he has remained deeply connected to his roots, his family, and his Portuguese identity. He never abandoned the country where he was born; instead, he carried it as a flag.
The day Cristiano Ronaldo retires will come. That day is closer than it is far away. And when it happens, Portugal will realize what it so often realizes too late: that it witnessed a career that will never be repeated.
Criticism is part of sport, and it should exist. But ingratitude should never be confused with accountability. We can debate decisions, performances, and moments. But we should not allow the emotions of the present to erase the historical significance of what Cristiano Ronaldo represents.
Results fade, and records can be broken, but some figures transcend the game. Cristiano Ronaldo is one of them. And Portugal would be better off if it never forgot that. 🐐❤️
@FerDeath Martínez no tuvo huevos de sacar a Fernandes y poner a Joao Felix en su lugar contra Congo . Ojalá no cometa el mismo error y lo ponga junto al bicho
The guy who apparently started this whole Georgina Rodríguez and Madalena Aragão saga has now cleared the air.
And from the looks of it, João Neves' girlfriend really did make that statement.😳
🖥️💥 Ridículo estrepitoso del VAR en el Argentina - Argelia.
👉🏻 Messi clava los tacos por detrás en el gemelo de Mandi, doblándoselo con uso de fuerza excesiva.
❌ 𝗥𝗢𝗝𝗔 𝗗𝗜𝗥𝗘𝗖𝗧𝗔 𝗖𝗟𝗔𝗥𝗔.
▪️ El VAR, con una cobardía absoluta, decidió desentenderse de la acción.
Cada vez que vestimos esta camisola, sentimos o mesmo orgulho, a mesma paixão e o mesmo sentido de responsabilidade do primeiro dia.
Amanhã começa um novo capítulo.
Trabalhámos muito para chegar a este momento e agora é altura de dar tudo pelo nosso País, e por todas as comunidades Portuguesas que nos apoiam aqui e em todo o mundo. Acreditem como nós! #VAIDARPORTUGAL
