DBasia.news – Portugal international player, Bruno Fernandes praised compatriot, Cristiano Ronaldo, who has scored more than 100 goals at international level. Ronaldo penetrated the 101 goals after breaking into Sweden’s goal twice in the Group A3 UEFA Nations League match on Wednesday (9/9) am.
Ronaldo became the start of the field in the match after scoring two goals at once from outside the penalty box. One of them was driven from a free kick. The 2-0 victory gave Portugal a temporary lead in the Group A3 with a collection of six points.
Fernandes considered that Ronaldo’s presence had a big impact in every match. He considers the 35-year-old player to be the best at this time.
“We knew (Ronaldo) will find it easier to score goals. He has that instinct and can win games at any time,” he said as reported by Goal International, Wednesday (9/9).
The Manchester United player revealed that Ronaldo continued to hone his free kicks while training. This was also proven by Ronaldo’s first goal at the end of the first half.
“Yesterday, he trained six or seven times (free kicks). Today he scored a goal that way. It’s nice because of Cristiano’s presence, he can make any team stronger,” he stated.
Likewise, Portugal coach, Fernando Santos also appreciated Ronaldo as the winner of the Selecao. He congratulated the record that his team had just set.
“What else should I say? A best team in the world can’t do without the best players in the world,” he said.
Fernando believes, Ronaldo will continue to target the next record. He also supports his players’ target to achieve individual records.
