Cristiano Ronaldo’s former teammate in his first spell at Manchester United, Patrice Evra, said he wouldn’t be surprised if Cristiano Ronaldo, currently without a squad, retires from professional football.. This is how the former footballer expressed himself about his former teammate on Sky Sport News:
“I don’t know if Ronaldo will retire because sometimes when you have all these criticisms, especially at the end of your career, you say ‘it’s fine, I think it’s time to stop’. Especially when you’re not a regular with your team, because that’s why Cristiano wanted to play and be fit.”.
The Frenchman also underlined the importance of this World Cup in Qatar for Cristiano Ronaldo: “To win the World Cup with his country, that was his dream, and now that dream is gone. I won’t speak up for Cristiano, but I wouldn’t be surprised if he backs out.”.
