Ronaldo Dismisses Critics After Narrow Win Over Nigeria

Ronaldo Dismisses Critics After Narrow Win Over Nigeria — 1 of 2
1 / 2

Cristiano Ronaldo has shrugged off doubts about his fitness and form following Portugal’s 2-1 victory over Nigeria in Leiria. After a below-par performance marked by four off-target shots, the 41-year-old captain hit back at sceptics. “I feel very good. Haven’t you been watching the games?” he told reporters as he prepared for a record-equalling sixth World Cup. Ronaldo cites his recent success in Saudi Arabia and his unmatched international goal record as proof of his readiness. With wins over Nigeria and Chile behind them, Portugal now targets a strong tournament run when they open Group K against DR Congo on June 17.

Portugal edged Nigeria 2-1 despite his four off-target shots, hardly convincing performance from someone expected to lead the attack at 41.

I respect his confidence, but na four off-target shots still dey remind us he's not the same force up front at 41.

Managers should manage his workload carefully and introduce rotation to maintain Ronaldo's sharpness and avoid burnout across such tight match schedules.
