Real Madrid forward, Cristiano Ronaldo was recently named the global ambassador to the club’s shirt sponsors, Fly Emirates and stated that he has no pressure going into the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
At Friday’s presentation, Cristiano spoke about the upcoming World Cup and named off his favourites to win the competition, failing to name his own squad, Portugal, who are not expected to go far.
“I hope we have a good World Cup, we have no pressure because the favorites are Brazil, Spain, Argentina and Germany. The first game is important because it’ll be against a very important team, Germany.
“Going to the World Cup is a great motivation, because I became a footballer watching Portuguese players.”
Cristiano has been rumoured to be struggling with a knee injury and will be monitored closely before Saturday evening’s match against an in-form Rayo Vallecano.
