Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes has said that Cristiano Ronaldo will always be the greatest symbol of Portugal’s national team. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
Stressing that there can be no question of what Ronaldo has achieved for his country, Bruno stated that he expects the current controversy to be settled eventually.
Fernandes added that CR7 deserves the respect of all Portuguese people, regardless of who likes him more or less.
His words, “To put an end to this matter once and for all, I don’t need to speak with my colleagues.
We know how to manage our situations. We have a situation that has nothing to do with the players, and our most important role is to deliver results.
I had a conversation with Cris. What I told him is that the most important thing, regardless of what happens, is that he will never cease to be the greatest symbol of our national team and country, for everything he has done in Portugal and around the world.
He has a reserved place not only among the best of all time, but also in the hearts of the Portuguese people.
We cannot divide ourselves; the national team is one, and all parties should resolve their issues behind closed doors. I think that’s how it will be, and that everything will end well on both sides.
We are out of the matter; we spend a lot of time playing cards and are outside the controversy surrounding this issue, but I ask that the country not be divided, not make choices, and accept all sides.
Cris will always be the greatest icon of our national team, of world football, and deserves the respect of all Portuguese people, regardless of who likes him more or less.”
