“I would love to see names like Guardiola, Ancelotti or Mourinho coaching Brazil. But I am not the one who chooses, we will see what happens, ”he said. “These names have emerged in Brazil, but I don’t know if it’s true. I don’t see a problem with him being a foreign coach with Brazil. Now there is going to be a big discussion about the future coach of Brazil, I see these names very favorably, ”he expanded.

A Ronaldo who trusted Neymar to play for Brazil again. “He is very upset with the result in Brazil. It’s normal for him to feel that right now, but I’m sure he’ll come back stronger and continue playing for Brazil. He is still young and can play the next World Cup. I am proud of how he showed his commitment in the last six months with Brazil”, he commented.
“He played a great first game, suffered the ankle injury and made a lot of sacrifices to play for the national team again. It is very important for us and I hope that it will return soon and stronger ”, he completed.
Praises to Endricj and Mbappé
The historic striker from Brazil also valued the new football promise of his country, an Endrick who is associated with Real Madrid. “He is a young talent from Brazil who is going to be very good. He already played professionally this year and is going to be a great talent for the next few years. I don’t know if he is done or not with Real Madrid, we’ll see. What is certain is that since he is so young we are going to enjoy him in Brazil for at least a year and a half”, he assured.
In addition, he opted for Mbappé as the one who will be the best player in the World Cup, at the same time that he stayed with France as a great favourite. “My prediction from the beginning was always Brazil and France in the final. Brazil is no longer there; Match after match, France has been confirming its favoritism and continues to be the great favorite to win the World Cup”, he commented.
“Mbappé is having a good World Cup, decisive with France. He has incredible physical and technical qualities. He may be the best player in the World Cup. Mbappé has a natural talent and, at only 23 years old, an experience of having won the World Cup, of having been the protagonist… he is improving his game every time, ”he pointed out.
“He knows how to use his ability. How to go faster than the rest. Use this ability to help his entire team. France is the favorite to win the World Cup. Mbappé is going to be the best player, ”he pointed out.
Happy if Messi wins the World Cup, but not Argentina…
Ronaldo assured that “I would be happy if Messi won the World Cup”, while he would not “be happy, as a Brazilian” if Argentina won. “We all deserve it. Soccer is playing and winning. Nobody is going to give you anything. For his story, not for anything. He has possibilities, of course. Argentina doesn’t play great football, but they have incredible desire, they all run a lot together, they all have an aggressiveness… and then they have Messi, who when he approaches the box is very decisive. Personally, I would be happy for him if he wins it, ”he replied.
Ronaldo said that if El Yamiq, a Moroccan player from Valladolid, the club he chairs, does not have a clause to win the World Cup, “we will put it on him.” “He deserves it. We are delighted with what he is playing ”, he commented before pondering the World Cup that Morocco is holding.
“It is being the great surprise of the World Cup. How he plays and how he defends himself. It surprised Spain, Portugal… it’s a beautiful football story that an African team is in a World Cup semifinal. The reactions of the people that are seen in Morocco are incredible, ”he said.
“It is hard to lose, but that football offers us stories as beautiful as that of Morocco is appreciated. I would like to, but I don’t think they can win it. France has a very solid team ”, he completed.
“Watch out for Argentina, which has its chances. And Croatia, let’s not forget that in 2018 they made the final and are already in the semifinals again, eliminating Brazil… we’ll see what will happen. Everything that is happening this World Cup is beautiful; there were many doubts before it started and it is wonderful to see how we are all enjoying a wonderful World Cup ”, he added.
Praises the organization of Qatar
In addition, Ronaldo praised the Qatar 2022 World Cup at the organizational level. “Beautiful stadiums, there are no traffic jams, you can see two or three games on the same day, impeccable security, the union of peoples enjoying themselves… it is a historic edition for the world. Historical for the Arab world, that we have come here with doubts and we have learned a lot from them and to be more tolerant with the culture of others. It is being a pass; I am enjoying it very much. A pity that it is running out, ”he assured.
A Ronaldo who also defended a Luis Enrique who was his teammate. “I saw Spain’s first game live and I loved how they played. He has a very characteristic game, football gave him a hard beating with the elimination against Morocco. I thought it was great that he was doing the Twitches during the Worlds; It was something extraordinary, spontaneous, modern… although many people in Spain hammered him for it. The world is changing and Luis Enrique did it phenomenally, ”he declared.
