00:00I want to ask you about Cristiano Ronaldo.
00:04You know, of all the superstars that we saw in the World Cup,
00:08do you think this World Cup did more harm to his legacy?
00:12Or do you think that legacy was already set in stone no matter what?
00:16And nothing could have hurt that legacy.
00:18Because of all the guys that really didn't show up, it seems,
00:23it seemed to be it was Cristiano Ronaldo.
00:26How does he lead this tournament, his final World Cup?
00:30I think that it was an unfortunate way to go out of this state for Ronaldo.
00:35He definitely is eclipsing faster than Messi.
00:40He's eclipsing faster than we expected.
00:42Let's be fair.
00:44This is a 40-year-old man that has been playing at the highest level for the last 20.
00:48I don't think that anything that they do will actually tarnish his reputation,
00:54tarnish his legacy.
00:55See, I think that one of the issues that he had is that unlike Argentina that has a whole team
01:00playing for Messi,
01:02Portugal did not play to the strengths of Cristiano Ronaldo.
01:06And to be honest, nor they should.
01:08Because Cristiano Ronaldo shouldn't be having him being built around him.
01:13He should be a superstar that comes for 20 minutes and changes the game.
01:16So I really, really believe that it was kind of like a dead man walking situation for him from the
01:22beginning of the World Cup.
01:23There was no support for him within the team.
01:25A lot of these players were unhappy of having him and kind of continue that style of play versus, you
01:32know,
01:32maybe bringing new blood and trying to play it a different way.
01:35But at the end of the day, these type of players deserve to have their last moment in the greater
01:40stage.
01:41And he did.
01:42He was able to score in another World Cup, setting another person on record.
01:46But to be honest, he's ready to move on to greater pastures, if you will.
