Former Manchester United defender Ferdinand gives a sharp response to Ronaldo

Following the match between the Portugal and Uzbekistan national teams at the World Cup, a major stir was created in the football world. This was reported by Zamin.uz.

Portuguese legendary striker Cristiano Ronaldo scored two goals in the mentioned match, securing victory for his team. After this result, former England national team and Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand sharply responded to those criticizing Ronaldo on social media.

This was reported by Goal.com. Ferdinand expressed his astonishment at the actions of his former teammate on the field and his ability to play at a high level for a long time.

According to Goal.com's report, the expert called on Ronaldo's critics to shut their mouths, emphasizing that the 41-year-old footballer is still a world-class striker. In Ferdinand's opinion, negative views about Ronaldo's age and influence on team play are unfounded.

Speaking of historical achievements and new records, the goals scored against Uzbekistan opened a new page in Cristiano Ronaldo's Portuguese football history. He broke the record for the number of goals scored at World Cups, previously set by the legendary Eusebio.

Ferdinand this time stopped and said, How can you doubt a man aiming for 1000 goals? He is the only person to have scored in six World Cups, he emphasized.

Ferdinand also paused specifically on Ronaldo's second goal, where the experienced striker outran the young defender and struck in the style of Erling Haaland.

According to the expert, such movement and the ability to choose the right moment are characteristic of very few central strikers in the world. This indicates that Ronaldo's physical condition is still at a high level.

As for the situation in the group, after the victory over Uzbekistan, the Portugal national team's points reached 4. We remind you that the Portuguese drew with DR Congo in the first round.

Now, the battle for first place in the group will be decided in the final round. Portugal will face the Colombia national team, which is leading by 6 points, in the next match.

For the Portugal national team to advance to the playoff stage as group winners, they must defeat Colombia. Cristiano Ronaldo aims to continue his historic series and lead his team to the championship.

For Uzbek fans, this match remained in memory as an opportunity to show worthy resistance against a world-class star. Source: Goal.com
