Ronaldo arrived back in his native Portugal on Sunday and joined in training at Portugal's Cruz Quebrada-Dafundo headquarters in Lisbon. The Portugal squad welcomed their captain in preparation for the World Cup this time.
Mega Real Madrid star has previously been given a short break after the Champions League final victory yesterday over Liverpool. Now he is performing with high spirits as European champions improve their preparations for this summer's tournament in Russia.
There is a new one from Ronaldo after he returned to the Portugal squad. Yes, he came back with a similar haircut when he followed the European Cup 2 years ago. The appearance of her hair during the 2018 Champions League final was similar to her hairstyle during the 2017 Champions League Final against Juventus last. Could it be that he is looking for luck to have Portugal win the World Cup just like a 2 year pestle when they win the European Cup?
Portugal will face Algeria in a warm-up match on June 7 before the World Cup kicks off on June 14. Portugal coach Fernando Santos has slashed his temporary squad into 23 players at the deadline for World Cup squad announcement Monday.
Among the featured Portuguese players, including Manchester City playmaker Bernardo Silva, West Ham's Joao Mario and new Leicester player Ricardo Pereira. William Carvalho, who was the target for Everton's new boss Marco Silva, was also included.
Ronaldo has yet to include a statement about his rumored move from Santiago Bernabeu. The 2-0 Champions League win over Liverpool, Ronaldo sparked speculation over Real Madrid's future. The Los Blancos star insists he will discuss his future after winning in Kiev - though he has not made any remarks. The withdrawal of Zinedine Zidane, confirmed on Friday, is likely to have implications for Ronaldo's decision.
