Cristiano Ronaldo was in a very confident mood after the great victory against Uzbekistan in the World Cup. He put the team ahead by scoring a double in Portugal's big victory. At the same time, he added a new record to his career page.
However, at one point in front of the media after the match, the Portugal captain expressed some annoyance when the topic of Lionel Messi was raised. When a Spanish-speaking journalist asked about Messi's recent performance, Ronaldo turned his attention elsewhere before he could finish the question. Later, when another journalist asked for permission to ask a question, he said that if he doesn't like the question, he won't answer.
The match against Uzbekistan was a platform for Ronaldo to respond to criticism. There was a lot of discussion about him for wasting opportunities against DR Congo in the first match. But he made his position clear with his performance on the field in the next match.
By scoring early in the match, Ronaldo achieved the rare feat of scoring goals in six different World Cups. Then he scored another goal towards the end of the first half. This brought his total number of goals in the World Cup for Portugal to 10. Through this, he also surpassed Eusebio's long-standing record.
Ronaldo was seen quite excited after the match. In front of the camera, he said that he was back. Many see his comments as a response to the criticism that arose after the first match.
While talking to the media, Ronaldo said that the last week had not been easy for him. Many people thought that he was finished early. However, he believed in his own hard work and mental strength.
Although he was not very keen to talk directly about Messi, Ronaldo showed a positive attitude about the possible fight against Argentina. According to him, if such a match were to happen, it would definitely be a great occasion.
Messi is also in great shape in the current World Cup. He has scored five goals in two matches and is in the news. However, on the night of Portugal's big victory, Ronaldo wanted to focus more on his performance and the success of the team.
Portugal are in a good position in the group after a big win against Uzbekistan. They have a crucial match against Colombia ahead of them. A win in that match will give Roberto Martinez's team a chance to advance to the knockout stages as group champions.
