French football coach Patrice Evra, and former teammate of the Portuguese striker in the Red Devils, says he wouldn’t be surprised if Cristiano Ronaldo hangs up his boots.
How was everything?
There seems to be little chance of Cristiano Ronaldo hanging up his boots anytime soon, despite having endured several months of testing in the 2022-23 campaign. The Portuguese was released as a free agent by Man Utd after criticizing them in an explosive interview, while more disappointing came when he suffered a quarter-final loss to Morocco in the World Cup final in Qatar. Ronaldo has made regular appearances for club and country, while also receiving regular criticism, and Patrice believes this could cause the all-time great to reconsider his future options.
What did Evra say about Cristiano Ronaldo?
The former French player said that when he talks to Cristiano Ronaldo, he doesn’t talk about what he’s doing next, they talk more about life and family. Patrice doesn’t know. According to Patrice Evra, he does not know if Cristiano will retire. Sometimes when they have all these critics, and especially at the end of their career, he thinks it’s time to stop.
Especially when he is not in the starting XI with his national team because Ronaldo wanted to play and be fit. It was Cristiano Ronaldo’s dream to win the World Cup with his country. Now Ronaldo doesn’t have that dream. According to him, he won’t speak for Cristiano, but don’t be surprised if he retires, because right now all the Portuguese does is he’s a bad person, he’s a bad player, whatever. Patrice Evra says he won’t be surprised if Cristiano Ronaldo decides to retire.
A little about the topic
While the Portugal captain is expected to play on, with the decision made to use training facilities at former employers Real Madrid as the striker seeks to keep fit ahead of another challenge at club level is taken.
The Portuguese may have cut ties with the Red Devils, but the English football pundit hopes PL hasn’t seen the last of the icons.
What did Gary Neville say?
In the wake of an explosive interview with British journalist Piers Morgan, in which Cristiano Ronaldo criticized prominent figures of the past and present of the Red Devils, the decision was made at Old Trafford to release the legendary figure as a free agent. Various drop-off locations are being advertised for Cristiano, from the Americas to the Middle East, but Gary Neville is hopeful his former team-mate can find another club that will allow him to shine on the biggest stage – with the potential that still exists to keep him in England.
Gary said: “How does he see the end of his career play out? Does he see his career ending playing in the smaller leagues, or does he see his career playing in one of the big leagues and continuing at that level?” Neville hopes this is the last one and Cristiano Ronaldo can find himself a club in the big leagues, even in the PL – Gary would like him to stay in the PL at a club that can have him ahead and they can watch him every week. The Englishman says that’s what they want to see, they want to see Cristiano Ronaldo play.
