Manish comments on Cristiano Ronaldo's role in World Cup 2026

Former Portugal centre-back Maniche has commented on Cristiano Ronaldo's role in his national team. He said: "I want Cristiano Ronaldo to play. If he has the passion and desire to represent the national team, he should continue. He is an extraordinary player. In fact, he is not in the same physical condition as he was 20 years ago, but he is still always alert and creates space for his team-mates. He has to be respected and I think people are often less scientifically dishonest when they talk about him. He is still a national model, and he is. "More important for the team. I don't see a better hunter than him. Now it's related to the coach," says Manish.
