The Manchester United striker acknowledged that it is not unreasonable to think that his future lies in South America.
World surprise at Cristiano Ronaldo’s statements that went viral this Thursday amid rumors about a crisis with Manchester United. The 36-year-old striker who stands out in the Premier League admitted that he does not rule out playing in the Brazilian league in the future and there is already speculation with which team he could hire him.
The Portuguese striker gave an interview to ESPN Brazil where he only praised the South American nation: “What I can say, with absolute certainty, is that Brazil is a brother country. Because of the relationship I have with my colleagues, because of the culture, the Brazilians who live in Portugal. My sister lives in Brazil, she is married to a Brazilian. I take my nutrition courses with Brazilians. It is a country for which I have a lot of respect, I know a lot about Brazil”.
For this reason, in an interview he was asked if it is possible that in the future he would cross the Atlantic Ocean to play in Brazil: “I don’t know. It is far from my thoughts. But in football everything is possible, I don’t know.”
His statements had repercussions throughout the planet, especially since they occurred after Marcelo Braz, vice president of Flamengo, held a meeting with Dolores Aveiro, CR7’s mother. The leader had traveled to Portugal to negotiate for a coach for his club but had a brief meeting in early January with the woman which ended with a photo of both and a phrase that aroused suspicion on social media: “Persuasion always begins with the family”.
