Ferguson's advice to Ronaldo of '€0 goals'" What's the point of playing in the 2026 World Cup, it's already special

Ferguson recruited Ronaldo as a teenager and raised him dearly. At the 2006 World Cup in Germany, the so-called wink incident earned the ire of all Englanders, but he cared for and protected him and placed him in the world's best ranks. With Ferguson's trust, Ronaldo has transformed himself from a glamorous but unaffordable winger to the best goal scorer in the world. Ferguson's world class standards are famous for being high and demanding, one of which is Ronaldo. The two are constantly respecting each other and maintaining a good relationship even after Ronaldo moved to Real Madrid.
Ferguson expressed his opinion that Ronaldo should finish his representative career at this point. On the 4th (Korea time), the British Daily Mail published an interview with Ferguson's latest Bild, who said, `I can't imagine him playing until 2026"Football will become faster and more dynamic in the future. There is no choice but to further reduce the space for the central striker. On top of that, it is difficult for a striker to play at the highest level compared to a defender when he gets older. Ferguson said, `Now it doesn't mean much if Ronaldo adds one or two trophies. He already has a special career.'
Ronaldo is currently playing at Euro 2024. Ronaldo, who played in all four games under the full trust of coach Roberto Martinez, has not scored a single goal, contrary to expectations. In particular, in the last match against Slovenia, he even shed tears during the game after missing a penalty kick. Ronaldo said in a recent interview with his country's media, `It is right that it is undoubtedly my last euro. But rather than being engulfed by emotion because of it, I get emotional because of everything, the game, the fans, the passion for my teammates. The most important thing is the passion that I still have to be here.' However, he has not yet said whether he will participate in the 2026 North Korea-China World Cup. Ronaldo, who is considering winning the World Cup as his last puzzle, is likely to be greedy. Ferguson may have been concerned about this.
