Cristiano Ronaldo wants to challenge the impossible one last time. At almost 41 years old, the Portuguese striker is still targeting the last crown, that of world champion in 2026. But when he is preparing his last dance, an ex-rival came to cool the ambient enthusiasm. William Gallas, former first League defender, split an unflattering prediction. And the least we can say is that there is no dead hand.
Questioned by an online Paris site, the ex-player of Chelsea and Arsenal warns: “He will be at the World Cup, but it will probably end in tears. »» According to him, Cristiano Ronaldo would no longer be able to play a major role in the Portugal team. At best, a player impact out of the bench. At worst, a declining symbol, helpless in the face of the harsh level. And behind this disillusioned vision, it is the idea of a global dream that turns into a nightmare that is reflected.
Ronaldo targeted by a cruel prediction of Gallas
However, CR7 remains a centerpiece of Portugal. Always decisive, always leader. But the pressure is unique. This World Cup will be the last in his career. The only major title he is missing, the one that a certain Lionel Messi went to seek in Qatar. This shadow will weigh heavily. Especially since the competition will be tough: Brazil, France, England, Argentina … The slightest flaw could be fatal. And it is this extreme tension that Gallas imagines insurmountable for the veteran.
The polemical prophecy of Gallas at the end of Ronaldo
It must be said that William Gallas is not at his first try of thunderous statements. Since the end of his career, he has been seen on RMC Sport as a consultant, without much brilliance. Thanks, he had to go into exile in the media in England, where he now comments for casino sites and minor platforms. The kind of stands that we hardly take seriously.
And finally, faced with Ronaldo's consistency at the highest level, we could conclude that he might have been better to earn, for William Gallas … disappear completely rather than continuing to debit this kind of nonsense.
