Cristiano Ronaldo responds to a question about his physique: "Haven't you watched the games?"

Idol of a generation, Cristiano Ronaldo gave a press conference upon the arrival of the Portuguese National Team delegation in the United States, this Friday (12), for the 2026 World Cup. The 41-year-old striker was asked about the physical part and responded to the press' question.

"Physically? Physically well. Haven't you seen the games? I think I'm fine, there's no surprise", said the Al-Nassr player.

Cristiano Ronaldo arrives to participate in the World Cup for the sixth time (a record alongside Messi, from Argentina, and Ochoa, from Mexico) with more suspicion than usual. In the 2-1 victory over Nigeria, in a friendly played last Wednesday (10), the striker wasted good chances to score.

At the 2022 World Cup, in Qatar, CR7 lost the title to Gonçalo Ramos in the knockout stage. The national team ended up being eliminated by Morocco in the quarterfinals.

PSG's offensive reference has once again gained the position of Cristiano Ronaldo in the current season, but the tendency is for the Portuguese idol to be chosen.

Starter or reserve, Cristiano Ronaldo shows confidence in coach Roberto Martínez's group and praises the current generation of players.

"It's a very good generation. But as I say, there are factors that we can't control. Winning or not winning. But I believe it's a generation that will give the fans a lot of joy," he said.

Portugal debuts in the World Cup on Wednesday (17), at 2pm (Brasília time), against DR Congo. The match will be held at Houston Stadium, in the United States. Colombia and Uzbekistan complete Group K.
