Ball – “Cristiano Ronaldo should play for Switzerland” (Portugal)

Ricardo Chiu believes that Portugal has all the conditions to reach the World Championship title. The coach of the Cypriot national team Doxa expressed Cristiano Ronaldo’s strong desire to play for Switzerland and explains the reasons.

What are Morocco’s strongest arguments?

– Morocco is a team that deserves it as a whole, compact, aggressive and waiting for the opponent’s mistake. Two players to watch out for in this selection, Ziyech (n. 7) is a very good player from a technical point of view, and one of the best players in history in Morocco, and Azzedine Onahi (n. 8) who is growing from game to game, helps a lot in choosing you to be At this point in the World Cup. When we get to a final stage like the World Cup, we can’t expect accommodations, not least because the vast majority of national teams are filled with players who play for the best teams in the world. Therefore, Portugal will have to play with its maximum strength and maximum concentration.

– How far can the national team reach?

– Even the world title! It is clear that we are one of the teams with the most solutions both individually and collectively, and the responsibility is great, but the ambition is even greater on the part of this group of players, who make a country dream of this possibility.

The significance of the victory over Switzerland…

– It allows you to reach this stage of testing, increasing expectations and responsibility. It is important to put your feet firmly on the ground and to face the next match with the same humility. Managing expectations is always the hardest role to master in a WG… In their heads they all feel ready to play and contribute, but only 11 of them get on the field to play.

– With or without Ronaldo in the eleven?

– With Cristiano in the starting line-up! The Portuguese insist on having a short memory. Cristiano Ronaldo is, in my opinion, the best athlete ever, he has worked harder than most to achieve everything he has achieved. He is going through the worst moment of his career, due to various personal and professional situations, and we cannot allow someone who has already given us so much and is still giving, to let us down. I don’t have a short memory, so for me, Ronaldo, Cristiano Ronaldo must play for Switzerland! He is someone I missed and I don’t let him “fall” into oblivion. With the right help and trust, there can be no one who says they can’t help us when we’re talking about the best of the best. Ronaldo has the courage to try to overcome himself, to do his best and more than anyone else he wants to win the last World Cup. He is up to a challenge and to those who challenge him, never leaving anyone behind. Ronaldo believes a lot and he just needs a chance to launch into the game.
