Fernandu Santos: Ronaldo is still a great footballer!
Former head coach of the Portugal national team, Fernando Santos, shared his thoughts on Cristiano Ronaldo's importance to the team. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
This was reported by euro-football.ru. It is known that Al-Nasr club forward Cristiano Ronaldo turned 41 this year.
At the same time, debates continue in the media about his current physical condition and how important he is for the Portugal national team. Fernando Santos expressed his opinion on this matter, saying: "Should Ronaldo be seen in the starting lineup at the World Cup?
That depends on each coach's tactics. If Cristiano is in good physical shape and maintains high fitness, he naturally becomes a main choice.
There is still no doubt about his professionalism. He has never talked to me about ending his career.
He will make that decision himself. But in my opinion, it is still a long way before he leaves football."
Additionally, according to information, Cristiano Ronaldo has scored five goals so far in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers. This shows that his physical condition and level of play are still high.
