Superstar Cristiano Ronaldo will miss the friendly match between Portugal and Sweden when coach Roberto Martinez wants to make some changes in the squad.
Coach Martinez named the five-time Ballon d’Or winner in his 32-man preliminary squad, but has now dropped the Portuguese captain from the friendly match against Sweden. Ronaldo will join Diogo Dalot, Joao Cancelo, Danilo Pereira, Otavio, Ruben Neves, Vitinha and Joao Felix on the list of players rested from this friendly match.
According to ESPN, the reason the Al-Nassr striker was completely eliminated was to allow the 39-year-old player to have a short vacation with his family in Saudi Arabia when the Saudi Pro League was suspended.
The Real Madrid and Man United legend played the full 90 minutes for Al Nassr last Saturday night, scoring the only goal to help the home team end a four-match winless streak. Before that, Ronaldo also continuously worked hard in all competitions for Al Nassr and thus had an important time off before another extremely busy summer.
The greatest striker of the Portuguese national team will return to coach Martinez’s squad after the match against Sweden and may have some playing time in the second friendly match with Slovenia on March 26 before returning. Al Nassr Club again faced Al Tai in an effort to help the home team retain the championship title with Al Hilal. Ronaldo is once again likely to become an indispensable part of the Portuguese national team in the summer when Seleccao is one of the candidates to win EURO 2024.
Yesterday, on his personal page, Cristiano Ronaldo posted a photo of him relaxing by the swimming pool. The image would not be worth discussing if Ronaldo’s legs were not present.
Accordingly, CR7’s feet looked bruised and swollen, making many fans feel sad. The Portuguese superstar has “beat the East to defeat the North” throughout his career, so perhaps he is too familiar with legs like that.
“No success is easy,” one fan commented. “Just looking at your legs, I will know how much effort you put in,” the second person expressed admiration. “Ronaldo is truly extraordinary,” the fan said.
Meanwhile, many fans believe that this is something that Ronaldo has to trade in order to maintain peak performance for a long time. Indeed, CR7 has worked tirelessly since the beginning of his professional career. It seems that until now, at the age of 39, Ronaldo has never stopped, practicing diligently every day.
