Portugal is the eighth passenger in the batch of favorites for the World Cup
Fernando Santos and CR7 admit the dream of winning the World Championship, but the selection is not in the first line of candidates for the title.
It was necessary to work overtime, in the two play-off games against Turkey and North Macedonia, but Portugal will even be present in the first World Cup to be developed in the European autumn, between December 21 and December 18. The national team will compete in the World Cup for the time – the sixth in a row – and confidence is something that the corners do not lack. After Fernando Santos admitted, shortly after the match with the Macedonians, the dream of lifting the trophy, Cristiano Ronaldo promised “ambition” for the 12th final phase of his career. “We want much more!”
The Portuguese captain took to social media to comment on the Portuguese qualification and, at 37 years old, guaranteed that the motivation is the same as at the beginning of his career. “There are many ways to achieve what we want, sometimes the path may not be as direct as we wanted, but the most important thing is to get there! In the title, I go to my fifth World Championship and my 12th, without Instagram.
