Poborsky on Cristiano Ronaldo: “
Without too many mincing words, to the microphones of the CTK news agency, Karel Poborsky had his say on the current moment of Cristiano Ronaldoreturning from his second season with the Al-Nassr shirt and arriving at the age of 39: “I have been saying for some time that Cristiano Ronaldo, if he were to start, it would be one of Portugal’s weakest links. The fans of both teams would go crazy for him, but at his age he isn’t that good at building the game and puts pressure on his younger teammates. I prefer him as a starter, he would help our team more… I think Ronaldo himself will never understand this. I take my hat off to what he did, – the former Lazio player specified – thanks to his enormous self-confidence, but there is no stopping age, he is 39 years old. We don’t know what his relationship with Roberto Martínez is like, but it was written that his predecessor, Fernando Santos, had this problem at the World Cup.”. With one assist, among other things, CR7 would equal Poborsky’s record in a European Championship (8 assists, ed.): “I’m not interested in individual statistics, the team is much more important. The success of our boys would make me very happy, as a fan of the national team, and then as a record holder”.
