Superstar Ronaldo shared about a player he wishes to work alongside on the field.
As for Ronaldo, the Portuguese superstar has had an illustrious career and has worked side by side with many famous names and legends in world soccer such as: Luis Figo, Wayne Rooney, Karim Benzema, …. . at top teams such as Man United, Real Madrid, Juventus or Portugal team.
Recently, Ronaldo’s sharing was quoted by international media about a legend he wishes to work alongside on the field: “In my mind there are many players I want to play with. He was one of the symbols of the national team, he was a great person, passed away a few years ago but I wish to play with him. But I will mention a player of my country is Eusebio”.
Eusebio (full name Eusebio da Silva Ferreira, passed away in 2014) is a Portuguese legend as a striker (1957-1980). He has an impressive number of goals scored in his career of 733 goals/745 matches.
This football legend is not a surprising choice as Ronaldo revealed. For Portuguese players in general, and Ronaldo in particular, they certainly have a special admiration and respect for Eusebio.
With Ronaldo, he created many milestones on the team and gradually surpassed the late legend Eusebio on the Portuguese team. In 2014, Ronaldo surpassed this legend to become the second highest scorer of all time for Portugal at that time.
To date, CR7 has become the leader in the national team’s all-time scoring list.
Another record that the late legend Eusebio holds that Ronaldo has not been able to equal until now is scoring 9 goals at the World Cup for the national team. Ronaldo’s number of goals after the 2022 World Cup for Portugal is 8 goals after 22 matches at the World Cup (2006, 2010, 2014, 2018 and 2022).
If he continues to compete in the 2026 World Cup, this milestone will likely be equaled or surpassed, but exceeding the 40-year-old threshold will be a big difficulty for Ronaldo in terms of physical fitness.
