The central defender of the Portugal National Team, Pepe, recently landed in Lisbon, reported today that Cristiano Ronaldo is “fine” and highlighted the importance that the former Real Madrid, Juventus and Juventus striker has had Manchester United during the World Cup in Qatar: “It’s our Portuguese flag.”
“Good. I think it’s good,” said the Porto footballer when asked by journalists about the Madeiran after landing at the Humberto Delgado airport in Lisbon just 24 hours after being eliminated from the World Cup in the quarterfinals.
“It is our Portuguese flag. It reaches all over the world. He gave his contribution when he was called up and we have to thank him for it”, added the Porto centre-back, who had his arm in a cast after fracturing his ulna during the match against Morocco.
He also took the opportunity to thank his colleagues for their work, “who tried to do their best”: ” They tried to give their best, work as hard as possible, to be available for the coach”, he concluded.
This Sunday have landed 12 of the 54 Portuguese footballers who came to Qatar to represent their country. Among those who have stayed in the emirate is Cristiano Ronaldo, whose tears of sadness and frustration after the defeat have gone around the world.
In addition, it must be borne in mind that the captain of the team has remained silent except for a publication that he has published on social networks in which he has assured that “never gave up” the dream of being world champion.
