Ronaldo Says He Stayed at Al Nassr to Rest and Get Ready for World Cup
Cristiano Ronaldo has finally explained why he’s staying put at Al Nassr. He said his main focus is to stay in top shape for next year’s FIFA World Cup and to be ready for the new season with his club. Ronaldo revealed that he got offers to play at the ongoing FIFA Club World Cup but turned them down. According to him, the best decision was to get enough rest and prepare properly for what lies ahead.
Speaking after extending his contract with Al Nassr until 2027, Ronaldo explained, “I had some offers to play the Club World Cup but I felt it didn’t make sense. I’d rather rest well and prepare because the coming season is going to be long and we have the World Cup at the end of it.”
He added that staying at Al Nassr wasn’t just about comfort but because he believes in the club’s project and wants to be ready for both his team and his country.
Nigerian footballer and former captain William Troost-Ekong revealed the standout player for him in the South African team during this World Cup.
He shared that Mbekezile Mbokazi really stood out in the World Cup match against Canada.
Despite their loss, he praised the team’s performance. “It speaks volumes that Mbokazi [Mbekezile] was the best player on the South African team. I believe Okon also had considerable possession of the ball.”
Poland footballer Robert Lewandowski’s new club has officially been revealed.
It can be noted that the player was involved in the ongoing summer transfer window, with negotiations taking place over his future.
The footballer will be joining Chicago Fire. It can be recalled that he visited the club two weeks ago, and the move has now been confirmed. The information was shared by football transfer expert Fabrizio Romano.
Former footballer Zlatan Ibrahimović speaks on the FIFA World Cup and states which African team countries should watch out for.
During a recent interview, the former player shared that Ivory Coast should be one of the teams to look out for.
“They can be dangerous. It is a very good team. They lost against Germany, but that game could have been a draw or even a win.
“So, it’s not like they came out of the group with one loss because of a bad game against Germany. They played a good game against Germany and could easily have gotten a point against them.”
