On January 8, Beijing time, FIFA announced the 3-person shortlist of FIFA Player of the Year, and C Ronaldo was not selected. However, the former World Cup winner Khedira, who announced the roster, said the president could once again receive the FIFA Best award.
This is the first time since the establishment of the award in 2016 that C Ronaldo has missed the top three, but he is in a good mood, posting training photos in the social media, hooking up with the two little brothers OfTres and Dalot, showing a bright smile, and also saying: "Continue to work", suspected of responding.
Announcing the final list of three people is the 2014 World Cup winner and Germany international Khedira. For Ronaldo, his evaluation is high: "Let's not forget, he is 36 years old, and many players have retired at this age. He's still playing for Manchester United and Portugal and everyone who knows him knows that he's not going to give up and you always have to rely on him.
"For me, it wouldn't be surprising to me if Cristiano Ronaldo was again selected as the best player at FIFA. He's said he wants to play until he's in his 40s and Ibrahimovic is still playing for Milan, so there's nothing impossible he can do. ”
Manchester United's recent results have indeed been poor, which will certainly have an impact on Ronaldo's personal honor, and the British media has revealed that he may leave the team this summer. But the famous journalist Romano revealed that even if the Red Devils do not qualify for next season's Champions League, Ronaldo will not leave. Of course, if that were the case, it would be the first time in the president's career that he would have participated in the Europa League.
