Former Portugal goalkeeper Ricardo has lauded Cristiano Ronaldo's remarkable skills as he prepares for his sixth FIFA World Cup, despite being 41 years old. Ricardo described Ronaldo as a 'destroying machine,' highlighting that while his speed has slightly diminished from 200 km/h to 195 km/h, his dedication and passion remain unchanged. After a successful season with Al Nassr in the Saudi Pro League, Ronaldo's confidence is high as he aims to finally claim the World Cup title, which has eluded him throughout his legendary career. Ricardo, who played alongside Ronaldo in the 2006 FIFA World Cup and is now part of the coaching staff, emphasized the strong bond they share, noting their mutual commitment to training and nutrition. Portugal's preparations for the World Cup include friendly matches against Chile and Nigeria, leading up to their opening game against Congo on June 17.
