Cristiano Ronaldo’s first comment after Portugal’s exit from the World Cup in Qatar.. What did he say?
Dubai, United Arab Emirates (CNN) – Cristiano Ronaldo, the star of Portugal, commented on his country’s exit from the 2022 World Cup, which will be held in the Qatari capital, Doha.
The Portuguese national team had bid farewell to the World Cup in its twenty-second edition, after defeating Morocco with a goal for free, in the quarter-final competitions.
“Winning the World Cup for Portugal was the biggest and most ambitious dream of my career,” the Portuguese striker said through his Instagram account, adding: “Fortunately, I won many titles of international dimension, including for Portugal, but putting the name of our country at the highest level in the world.” It was my biggest dream.”
And he continued: “I fought for it, I fought hard for this dream, in the five matches I scored in the World Cup finals over the course of 16 years, I was always on the side of great players and with the support of millions of Portuguese, I did my best, I left everything on the field.” I have never turned my face to battle, and I have never given up on this dream.”
And Ronaldo continued: “Unfortunately the dream ended yesterday, I just want you all to know that a lot has been said, a lot has been written, a lot has been predicted, but my dedication to Portugal has not changed for a moment, and I have always fought for the goal of everyone, and I will never turn my back on my colleagues and my country.”
Ronaldo concluded: “There is not much to say now, thank you Portugal, thank you Qatar, it was a nice dream while it continues now I hope time will be a good guide, and allow everyone to come to their own conclusions.”
Cristiano Ronaldo had participated as a substitute against the “Atlas Lions” in the quarter-finals, as well as against Switzerland in the second round, while Portuguese press reports claimed that he had threatened to withdraw from the ranks of the team, before the Football Association in Portugal denied that.
