For the former great player Karel Poborskywho previously played in, among others, Benfica, Lazio and Manchester United, now comes with a giant sawing of Ronaldo in particular.
– I have said it for a long time that he will be one of their weakest links if he starts. It would help our team if he plays, the Czech profile told news agency CTK.
– The fans of both teams will be absolutely crazy about him but due to his age, he is not as good in the build-up game and the press game as his younger teammates.
Poborsky’s words
Poborsky has made 118 international appearances for the Czech Republic and is currently working as a television expert in his home country. He still wants to be clear that he has great respect for what Ronaldo has accomplished during his career, but that the Portuguese no longer measures up.
– You cannot put an end to age. He is 39 years old, says Karel in his sawing.

Cristiano Ronaldo, who plays everyday for Saudi Arabian Al Nassr, is defended by Portugal’s national team captain Roberto Martinez before the first match against the Czech Republic.
– No one is here for their name, says the national team captain according to Portuguese A Bola.
– He scored ten goals in the European Championship qualifiers, he is a goalscorer and he is someone who can make the difference. Which can open up surfaces. He has changed his way of playing somewhat but he is here for his quality. His numbers show it.
