Ronaldo Dismisses Critics After Narrow Win Over Nigeria
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.
