The balloon already has begun to film in floor catarí and the rest of the selections prepare for his first crash of the phase of groups. Portugal, one of the staff with potential elder of the tournament, arrives with a Christian Ronaldo that it does not cross his best moment in which it will be his last apparition in the just. In recent statements, the forward has referred to the image viral beside Messi and his aspirations in Qatar 2022.
Like part of an advertising campaign, through the social networks has circulated an image in which both multiple winners of the Balloon of Gold play to the chess. In a press conference of the Portuguese selection, has indicated that it would like him be the one who win the game, now in the World-wide: "I do not know how be direct in this regard, but would like me be the one who do the checkmate against him. It would be beautiful that occurred; already it occurred in a game of chess and in the football would be even more. The checkmate do it in the life, no only in the chess, and do it often".
Regarding the Glass of the World, the luso has indicated that his problems in the Manchester United will not have repercussion in the selection: "I am 37 years old and eight months and do not have to show at all already. It does not go to influence in at all in the selection. All my mates and the technical body know me, know what am and what think, know me from the 11 years. They do not go to leave influence by what others say or write".
The controversy with Bruno Fernandes
Regarding the controversy aroused with the one who also is his mate of changing room in the team mancuniano, 'CR7' has indicated that his relation to day of today is good: "Have an excellent relation. His aeroplane arrived late and asked him if it had come in ship. The environment in the selection is excellent, there are not problems, the group is armoured. These previous phases to tournaments always have controversial, but my relation with him is excellent".
Of equal way, has signalled that it does not exist any type of problems with any of the members of the combined 'Give Quinas': "Always all what there is around Cristiano generates debates. But I insist, my relation with all the team is excellent, with Bruno, with Cancel, with Joao Félix… And take advantage of, do not ask them to the players by Cristiano. They ask after they and Portugal. It is easy to think from the another side, but the timing of the interview does not go to influence. All the players know how am and how think. They do not go to see influenciados. The group is joined and all want to play. I do not think that by this episode think another thing".
His favourites for the World-wide
Likewise, it has 'wetted' on which selection could finish conquering the trophy: "Brazil, Argentina, France are those that more possibilities have… Spain, Germany… Are those that more sound, also for inflate them. But already we saw in 2016 that we are able to give the surprise and impose us. Have an enormous potential, but it is necessary to think in Ghana and go calmly. From here go growing. If we are the best selection, will arrive until the final. The team champion will be the best. Have young people, is a good mix".
