Cristiano Ronaldo, the hero of Portuguese football, has stated that he declined invitations to compete in the Club World Cup in order to recover and be ready for a tough and lengthy season.
After agreeing to a new two-year contract with Al-Nassr that will keep him with the team into his 42nd birthday, the Portuguese star made the remarks.
Ronaldo declines to play in the Club World Cup in favor of relaxation.
Ronaldo signed a two-year contract with the Saudi Pro League team on Thursday, extending his stay until his 42nd birthday.
When FIFA President Gianni Infantino stated last month that talks were taking on regarding Ronaldo participating in the Club World Cup, despite Al-Nassr’s failure to qualify, speculation about the 40-year-old’s plans grew.
