Houston: Portugal captain and veteran football star Cristiano Ronaldo has urged his team to stay away from the pressure of winning the World Cup and instead focus on making a strong start to the tournament. According to Ronaldo, success in any major competition is built on consistent performances from the very first matches.
Portugal will begin its World Cup campaign against Congo on June 17. Ronaldo advised his teammates to approach every match as a separate challenge and progress step by step rather than looking too far ahead. The 41-year-old football icon is also set to achieve a historic milestone by appearing in his sixth World Cup, further strengthening his remarkable legacy in international football.
