While there is no concrete plan for his future after finishing his career, it is clear that <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cristiano-ronaldo">Cristiano Ronaldo</a>’s professional football journey is slowly nearing its end. A former teammate of him at Manchester United has suggested him as a potential future manager, comparing him to Zinedine Zidane and Diego Simeone.



The 39-year-old Portuguese forward remains highly effective in terms of statistics. Playing for the Saudi Arabian side <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/al-nassr">Al Nassr</a>, CR7 scored 50 goals last season, and then donned the Portugal jersey to represent his nation in the UEFA Euro 2024 held in Germany.



However, as his football career approaches its twilight, many wonder about the future of one of the greatest players in history. Some link him to more executive roles, others suggest he might take a break from the football world, while some have even dared to propose him as a potential manager.



Such is the case with his former <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/manchester-united">Manchester United</a> teammate, French forward Louis Saha, who has claimed that Cristiano Ronaldo would make an excellent football manager after his retirement.

In an interview with CSDB.gg, former who played alongside Cristiano Ronaldo in the early 2000s at Manchester United, stated without hesitation: “Cristiano Ronaldo has the ability to be a very successful manager, we’ve seen his energy and his passion.”


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/soccer/report-real-madrid-star-rejects-potential-transfer-to-cristiano-ronaldos-al-nassr"></div>


<h2>Zidane, Simeone and CR7’s influences</h2>



Continuing on why the Portuguese forward would make an excellent football manager, Saha didn’t hesitate to mention the numerous great mentors CR7 has had throughout his career.



“He’d have the desire of Diego Simeone and the credibility of Zinedine Zidane. That combination as well as all his experience of working under Jose Mourinho, Carlo Ancelotti as well as Sir Alex Ferguson, the knowledge he would bring is crazy. It’s not just about football but he represents so much in terms of how you should conduct yourself and go about achieving your goals, he could be a manager, a club president. It’s admirable what he has done, he’s a human being that makes mistakes like anybody but he has never stopped working hard.”



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20240812_BUS_157635_Carlo-Ancelotti-Cristiano-Ronaldo-1024x576_0df890cf.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Carlo Ancelotti Cristiano Ronaldo" class="wp-image-157646" srcset="https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/Carlo-Ancelotti-Cristiano-Ronaldo-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/Carlo-Ancelotti-Cristiano-Ronaldo-300x169.jpg 300w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/Carlo-Ancelotti-Cristiano-Ronaldo-768x432.jpg 768w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/Carlo-Ancelotti-Cristiano-Ronaldo-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/Carlo-Ancelotti-Cristiano-Ronaldo.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Head Coach, Carlo Ancelotti of Real Madrid speaks with Cristiano Ronaldo of Real Madrid during a Real Madrid training session ahead of the UEFA Champions League Final against Club Atletico de Madrid at Estadio da Luz on May 23, 2014 in Lisbon, Portugal.</figcaption></figure>



<h2>Saha’s reflection on Ronaldo’s remarkable career </h2>



While Saha proposed his former teammate as a potential football manager, he assured that Ronaldo does not need to stay involved in football once his retirement is confirmed.



“Cristiano Ronaldo has proven everything he needs to prove, he has no obligation to do anything else now – he has done it all. He is the best ambassador of sport in general, I haven’t seen any athlete in the world who has sacrificed as much as he has. Some will call him obsessed or crazy but he is the greatest to ever do it. I respect the player and the man and not just because I played with him, it doesn’t matter where he ends up retiring because of what he has done in the game.”



<h2>What’s next for CR7?</h2>



The Portuguese forward still has one year left on his contract with Al Nassr, and his future beyond that remains uncertain.



Although he remains more active than ever despite his age, one possible option could be to end his career on a high note at Sporting Lisbon, the Portuguese club where he first rose to prominence.

The Saudi Arabian League has made a strong impact in recent years, and with big names like <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cristiano-ronaldo">Cristiano Ronaldo</a>, it has caught the attention of fans worldwide. To continue its growth, Al Nassr will aim for a major coup by trying to sign a Real Madrid star.



With CR7’s arrival in Saudi Arabia, the exodus of top footballers to Asia has become more frequent, making the Saudi Pro League an increasingly attractive destination. It’s not just about the financial incentives but also the footballing appeal.



In addition to the Portuguese forward, the league has recently signed globally renowned figures such as Karim Benzema, N’Golo Kante, Sadio Mane, and Neymar Jr., among others.



Despite the significant impact of these arrivals, Arabia plans to continue investing heavily in new stars, aiming to shake up the market by signing one of the world’s top players today.

The player in question is a huge talent La Liga, specifically one of Real Madrid’s current stars. His move to <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/al-nassr">Al Nassr</a> is intended to be the new face of the Arab league, especially with Cristiano Ronaldo’s retirement from professional football on the horizon.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/soccer/real-madrid-star-player-could-move-to-premier-league-after-kylian-mbappes-signing"></div>


<h2>Al Nassr will look to bring a new star to their squad</h2>



Aiming to make a splash in the global transfer market, Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al Nassr has begun to slowly initiate discussions and inquire about the contract situation of a Real Madrid player.



According to The Athletic, a Public Investment Fund (PIF) delegation has started talks with representatives of none other than <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/vinicius-jr">Vinícius Júnior</a>, one of the key figures in Carlo Ancelotti’s squad.



While Vinícius Júnior’s move to Al Nassr may not happen in the short term, the Arab team will aim to sign the Brazilian forward at some point.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20240812_BUS_157629_Vini-Jr-2-1024x576_a41d483e.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Vini Jr Real Madrid" class="wp-image-157631" srcset="https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/Vini-Jr-2-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/Vini-Jr-2-300x169.jpg 300w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/Vini-Jr-2-768x432.jpg 768w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/Vini-Jr-2-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/Vini-Jr-2.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Vinicius Junior of Real Madrid celebrates scoring his team’s fourth goal during the LaLiga EA Sports match between CA Osasuna and Real Madrid CF at Estadio El Sadar on March 16, 2024 in Pamplona, Spain.</figcaption></figure>



<h2>The situation of Vinicius Júnior at Real Madrid</h2>



The current Real Madrid star is under contract until 2027 and also has a staggering release clause of €1 billion.



While it is well known that financial considerations are often not a problem for Arab clubs, the Brazilian forward has made it clear that his intention is to continue wearing the Madrid colors, with the aim of increasing his chances of winning the Ballon d’Or.



This is why a short-term departure from Spanish football seems like a pipe dream, although Al Nassr’s executives will still make every effort to bring the Brazilian star into their ranks.



<h2>Upcoming fixtures for Real Madrid</h2>



Carlo Ancelotti’s side will kick off their season with a showdown against Atalanta in the UEFA Super Cup final. The match between the Merengues and the Nerazzurri is set for Wednesday, August 14.



On the other hand, their official La Liga debut will be this Sunday, August 18, as they travel to the islands to face the always tough Mallorca.

The new star of Real Madrid, Endrick, compiled his personal top five players of all time. He included <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cristiano-ronaldo">Cristiano Ronaldo</a> but left out Lionel Messi. Interestingly, two of the players on his list are ones he never actually saw play.



The revolution sparked by the now former Palmeiras player since his arrival at <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/real-madrid">Madrid</a> has been complete. The spotlight has focused on him not only for his football talent but also for his personality. Naturally, in one of many interviews, he compiled his classic top five players of all time.



It was to be expected that he might include some of his current teammates in that ranking, as well as players who have shaped the history of football in recent years.



It was well-known that he is a fan of Portuguese forward Cristiano Ronaldo, whom he placed as the greatest player of all time. What was surprising, however, was that he left out Argentine forward <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lionel-messi">Lionel Messi</a> from the list.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20240811_BUS_157227_Endrick-1-1-1024x576_55b15a96.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Endrick Real Madrid" class="wp-image-157233" srcset="https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/Endrick-1-1-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/Endrick-1-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/Endrick-1-1-768x432.jpg 768w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/Endrick-1-1-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/Endrick-1-1.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Endrick #16 of Real Madrid in the second half of the pre-season friendly match against FC Barcelona at MetLife Stadium on August 3, 2024 in East Rutherford, New Jersey.</figcaption></figure>



In an interview with content creator Delantero09, Endrick was firm with his top five: Cristiano Ronaldo, Bobby Charlton, Ferenc Puskás, Vini Jr., and Jude Bellingham.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/soccer/inter-miami-teammate-makes-a-stunning-revelation-about-what-its-like-to-meet-lionel-messi-for-the-first-time"></div>


<h2>The inclusion of two historical figures</h2>



Endrick’s ranking surprised both fans and critics, as, despite his young age, he included two players he never actually saw play. The Englishman Bobby Charlton, whom he has praised on several occasions, and the Hungarian Ferenc Puskás, who has the honor of having a prestigious trophy named after him, awarded annually for the best goal of the year.



<h2>The ranking completed by his teammates</h2>



It was only logical to expect that the ranking would also feature players he now shares the field with at Real Madrid. Perhaps some anticipated that Kylian Mbappé would be included, but the French forward was also left out.



In this case, rounding out the top five are none other than his compatriot Vinícius Jr. and English forward Jude Bellingham, formerly of Borussia Dortmund.

<h2>The upcoming matches for Real Madrid</h2>



Real Madrid kicks off the season with two crucial matches. On Wednesday, August 14, they will face Atalanta in the UEFA Super Cup, while on Sunday, August 18, they will make their La Liga debut against Mallorca away from home.

When <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/pepe">Pepe</a> announced his retirement from soccer on Thursday, everyone immediately thought about Cristiano Ronaldo. Together, they’ve created unforgettable memories with Portugal and Real Madrid.



Sadly, all good things come to an end, and the veteran defender has called it a career at 41. It didn’t take long for <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cristiano-ronaldo">Ronaldo</a> to react to this news, with the 39-year-old dedicating a heartfelt letter to his former teammate.



“There aren’t enough words to express how much you mean to me, my friend,” Cristiano wrote in Portuguese on Instagram along with many pictures of him and Pepe together. “We won everything there was to win on the field, but the greatest achievement is the friendship and respect I have for you. You are one of a kind, my brother. Thank you for so much.”



With this news, Pepe and Ronaldo’s last dance together came at the UEFA Euro 2024. The defender became the oldest player to compete in a European Championship this summer in Germany, where <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/portugal">Portugal</a> lost to France on penalties in the quarterfinals.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="386" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20240808_BUS_156108_image-4-1024x386_655eb6d8.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=386" alt="" class="wp-image-156118" srcset="https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/image-4-1024x386.png 1024w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/image-4-300x113.png 300w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/image-4-768x289.png 768w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/image-4.png 1162w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure></figure>



<h2>How many titles have Ronaldo and Pepe won together?</h2>



Pepe and Cristiano Ronaldo have won an impressive 15 titles as teammates — 13 for <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/real-madrid">Real Madrid</a> and two with the Portuguese national team. And they forged an unbreakable bond all these years.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/soccer/former-teammate-of-cristiano-ronaldo-at-real-madrid-announces-retirement-from-soccer"></div>


The two legends met early in their careers at Sporting CP, where Pepe had a trial while Ronaldo was already part of the club. The center-back didn’t make it through, but their paths were destined to cross again.



The reunion came in 2007, when Pepe earned his first call-up from Portugal. That same year, he joined Real Madrid, where he would strengthen his bond with CR7 when the striker moved to the Santiago Bernabeu two years later.

<h2>For how long have Ronaldo and Pepe played together and which titles have they won?</h2>



Pepe and Ronaldo spent eight seasons together in the Spanish capital until the former left for Besiktas in 2017. Their club titles together include two LaLigas, three UEFA Champions League trophies, two FIFA Club World Cups, two UEFA Super Cups, two Copas del Rey, and two Spanish Super Cups.



With Portugal, Pepe and Ronaldo led the country to its first major title at the UEFA Euro 2016 before helping the team lift the UEFA Nations League in 2019.

Ferrari chairman John Elkann has confirmed the signing of Lewis Hamilton for the 2025 season. In an exclusive interview, Elkann compared the British driver to some of the sport’s biggest legends, including <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cristiano-ronaldo">Cristiano Ronaldo</a> and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lionel-messi">Lionel Messi</a>.



Hamilton, who currently races for Mercedes, has once again shown his talent by taking two wins this season. His arrival at Ferrari marks a new chapter in his career and promises an exciting battle for the championship. 



Elkann has assured that the English driver does not come to Maranello to retire, but to compete at the highest level and add more titles to his record. “Hamilton and Ferrari have met at the perfect time,” Elkann said. “He comes to us to win, and with him, we become stronger to face the challenges of the future.”



<h2>The comparison with Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo</h2>



The president of Ferrari has highlighted the longevity of great athletes as a fundamental quality to achieve success. “Just look at Djokovic, Federer, Hamilton, Ronaldo and Messi,” Elkann said. “These athletes have overcome physical limitations thanks to enormous willpower.”

A colossus of defense, and former teammate of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cristiano-ronaldo">Cristiano Ronaldo</a> at Real Madrid and in the Portugal national team, he has decided to hang up his boots. The Portuguese center-back, known for his great marking and leadership on the pitch, ends a career full of successes and unforgettable moments



His time at Porto, where he became known to the world, and especially at <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/real-madrid">Real Madrid</a>, where he became a legend, consolidated him as one of the best defenders of his generation.



The Leagues and Champions Cup titles, both at club level and with the Portuguese national team, are a testament to his greatness and ability to play under pressure. His legacy transcends sport, as Pepe was always an example of dedication and struggle in every game.



<h2>Pepe announced his retirement from soccer</h2>



The news of Pepe’s retirement has shocked the world of soccer. The Portuguese center-back, who has left an indelible mark on the beautiful game, has decided to put an end to his professional career. Throughout his career, Pepe has proven to be an exceptional player, both for his technical quality and for his leadership on and off the field.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20240808_BUS_155982_Pepe-1-1024x576_694f81e6.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="" class="wp-image-156037" srcset="https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/Pepe-1-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/Pepe-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/Pepe-1-768x432.jpg 768w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/Pepe-1-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/Pepe-1.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Pepe of Portugal acknowledges the fan after the team’s defeat and elimination from EURO 2024 in the during the UEFA EURO 2024 quarter-final match between Portugal and France at Volksparkstadion on July 05, 2024 in Hamburg, Germany.

His ability to motivate his teammates and to impose his law on defense made him one of the most feared defenders in the world. Undoubtedly, his retirement marks the end of an era and leaves a void that is difficult to fill in world football.



<h2>Pepe and Cristiano Ronaldo’s achievements: an unbeatable duo</h2>



At Real Madrid, they won several Spanish Leagues and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/uefa-champions-league">Champions League</a> together, making Real Madrid the most winning team in this tournament. Similarly, one of the most emotional moments of their career together was the conquest of Euro 2016. Pepe was fundamental in defense, while Cristiano Ronaldo led the team in attack. Both players were key players in the conquest of the first edition of the UEFA Nations League, a title that consolidated Portugal as one of the strongest teams in Europe.



The partnership between Pepe and Cristiano Ronaldo at Real Madrid and the Portuguese national team was one of the most successful in modern football. Both players, with their unique characteristics, perfectly complemented their skills and forged a friendship that transcended the pitch.

The young Brazilian <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/endrick">Endrick</a> has become the focus of attention at Real Madrid. At 18 years old, this Palmeiras striker has leaped the Merengue team and has left an important impression in his presentation against the Santiago Bernabeu.



<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/real-madrid">Real Madrid</a> officially signed Endrick last summer. Endrick, with an imposing sole and muscles that challenge the new season’s shirt, presented himself at the 15 European Cups with the number 16 shirt.&nbsp;This number, worn by other players in transition, could be a harbinger of great achievements for Endrick in his first year as a Real Madrid player.



Endrick is no stranger to high expectations. Acclaimed by more than 30,000 people at its presentation, it is under the magnifying glass of fans and the press. However, President <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/florentino-perez">Florentino Perez</a> has asked for patience for the young striker. Unlike Vinicius or Rodrygo, Endrick should not carry the same pressure from the start.



<h2>Cristiano over Messi? Endrick and his response to comparisons between great players</h2>



As for comparisons, Endrick has been asked in a recent interview about players such as <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/neymar">Neymar</a>, Bellingham, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/ronaldinho">Ronaldinho</a>, Vinicius, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lionel-messi">Messi</a>, and Cristiano. His answer was blunt: “Neymar or Bellingham? Bellingham. Ronaldinho or Vinícius? Vinicius.&nbsp;Messi or Cristiano? <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cristiano-ronaldo">Cristiano</a>,” Endrick replied to each question. These choices reflect his vision and preferences, but only time will tell if Endrick can follow in the footsteps of the big names he mentioned.

The former midfielder <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/toni-kroos">Toni Kroos</a>, who retired at the end of last season, was recently named Germany’s Player of the Year by the country’s Association of Sports Journalists and Kicker magazine. During an interview following this honor, Kroos shared his thoughts on <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cristiano-ronaldo">Cristiano Ronaldo’s</a> departure from Real Madrid.



Kroos remarked that for his former teammate Cristiano Ronaldo, things were never the same after leaving <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/real-madrid">Real Madrid</a>: “With Cristiano Ronaldo it has not been the same after leaving Real Madrid, because he is addicted to success and trophies which he had more at Real Madrid and I am sure he sees it the same way.”



The former Bayern Munich player emphasized that he is still in contact with Cristiano Ronaldo and that they have a very good relationship: “Me and Cristiano Ronaldo are still in contact, we share a great relationship.”



Additionally, Kroos praised the enduring excellence of both Cristiano Ronaldo and Luka Modric, noting their decision “not to stop at the top, like 95% of all players, but to enjoy soccer a bit longer, and that’s a good way to go.”

“I don’t want to sit at a desk and philosophize about this and that, but to be in an environment where everything revolves around the game. No controversy, no transfer rumors, no discussions between coaches. Just analyzing and explaining game situations. That could be exciting,” he concluded.

Real Madrid made a strong statement in the European transfer market, not only with the dazzling acquisition of French forward <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kylian-mbappe">Kylian Mbappe</a> but also by securing the services of one of the latest South American jewels, Brazilian forward <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/endrick">Endrick</a>.



The young prospect, who began his professional football career wearing the colors of Palmeiras, quickly caught the eye of Europe’s giants. However, he ultimately chose <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/real-madrid">Real Madrid</a>, which secured his transfer even before he turned 18.



Naturally, one of the first questions asked of players who are just starting their professional football careers is about their biggest role models or who their greatest idols have been throughout their lives.



In a recent interview, Endrick surprisingly answered this question by mentioning two names that caught many people’s attention. The first is none other than former Real Madrid star <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cristiano-ronaldo">Cristiano Ronaldo</a>. The Portuguese multiple Ballon d’Or winner is one of Endrick’s biggest role models.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20240804_BUS_154381_Cristiano-Ronaldo-Real-Madrid-1024x576_0b9cda37.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Cristiano Ronaldo Real Madrid" class="wp-image-154413" srcset="https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/Cristiano-Ronaldo-Real-Madrid-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/Cristiano-Ronaldo-Real-Madrid-300x169.jpg 300w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/Cristiano-Ronaldo-Real-Madrid-768x432.jpg 768w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/Cristiano-Ronaldo-Real-Madrid-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/Cristiano-Ronaldo-Real-Madrid.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Cristiano Ronaldo of Real Madrid celebrates scoring his sides second goal during the UEFA Champions League group H match between Real Madrid and APOEL Nikosia at Estadio Santiago Bernabeu on September 13, 2017 in Madrid, Spain.</figcaption></figure>



Perhaps the most striking aspect of his response is his second source of inspiration: the Brazilian forward named English legend Bobby Charlton as one of his role models.



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">

</div></figure>



<h2>Sir Bobby Charlton: Endrick’s idol</h2>



While it might seem unusual for someone as young as Endrick to name Charlton as one of his idols (the English player was active between the 1950s and 1970s), this is not the first time the Brazilian has mentioned the former Manchester United star.



After a friendly match played earlier this year at Wembley between Brazil and England, Endrick remarked following the game: “A guy who is an idol here [at Wembley Stadium] is also Bobby Charlton. Playing in the stadium that Bobby played, scoring on the day Ronaldo debuted. These are very important memories for me.”



<h2>Endrick and the impressions he made at Real Madrid</h2>



Although he will need to secure a spot in a lineup that includes Kylian Mbappe, Rodrygo, and Vinicius Jr., forward Endrick has received high praise from his coach, Carlo Ancelotti: 



“He’s very fast, very dangerous in tight spaces, has the ability to turn with speed in little space, very agile in getting himself free, and all these qualities he has means he’s a great talent,” stated Ancelotti in the BBC Sport interview. “It’s rare to see a player with these types of characteristics.”

Italian coach Carlo Ancelotti has shed light on why Eden Hazard, once touted as “<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cristiano-ronaldo">Cristiano Ronaldo’s</a> successor,” failed to reach expectations at Real Madrid. Speaking on Obi Mikel’s podcast, Ancelotti offered insights into the challenges Hazard faced during his time with the Spanish giants.



<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/eden-hazard">Eden Hazard</a>, who became Real Madrid’s most expensive signing, never lived up to the hype. The Belgian winger, who joined from <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/chelsea">Chelsea</a> with high hopes, terminated his contract over a year ago with one season left, and subsequently retired from professional soccer at the age of 32. 



Hazard’s stint at <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/real-madrid">Real Madrid</a> saw him score just seven goals and provide three assists in 76 official matches—a stark contrast to his stellar performances for Chelsea and the Belgian national team.



<h2>Carlo Ancelotti explains the reasons behind Hazard’s failure</h2>



<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/carlo-ancelotti">Carlo Ancelotti</a> delved into the reasons behind Hazard’s struggles during his appearance on “The Obi One Podcast.” Asked by former Chelsea midfielder Obi Mikel about Hazard’s spell at Real Madrid, Ancelotti responded candidly.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20240803_BUS_154094_eden-hazard-real-madrid-1024x576_34a8630c.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="" class="wp-image-154097" srcset="https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/eden-hazard-real-madrid-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/eden-hazard-real-madrid-300x169.jpg 300w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/eden-hazard-real-madrid-768x432.jpg 768w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/eden-hazard-real-madrid-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/eden-hazard-real-madrid.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Eden Hazard of Real Madrid scores their team’s first goal from the penalty spot during the UEFA Champions League Group B stage match between FC Inter and Real Madrid. Valerio Pennicino/Getty Images</figcaption></figure>



“Eden is a fantastic guy. He was really enthusiastic and had a good relationship with everyone,” Ancelotti began. “I think the problem was injuries, of course, but also the fact that he had a hard time being in competition. He didn’t like to train. We knew this. But listen, when you play every three days, it’s not important to train intensely. You are not able to train at a high intensity. In fact, when you have to train with intensity, it’s when you’re not playing.”



Ancelotti continued, “At Lille, he played everything. In every game, he was in the eleven. Then he signed for Chelsea and played fantastic, and then he got injured here. When you are at Real Madrid and you have an injury, you have to come back and be competitive with the others. Because if you don’t play, there is someone else who is playing. That’s why I think he had difficulties competing, fighting, and playing.”

For Hazard, these challenges ultimately overshadowed his undeniable talent, leading to a tenure at Real Madrid that fell far short of expectations.

As European giants continue their preparations for the upcoming season, the transfer market remains highly active, with several new faces potentially set to join various clubs.



Without a doubt, the most talked-about transfer of the European summer was <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kylian-mbappe">Kylian Mbappe</a>‘s move to Real Madrid. Although it was widely anticipated that the French star would join the Merengues during this transfer window, he has now officially signed and is already under the guidance of coach Carlo Ancelotti.



Mbappé’s arrival, along with Brazilian forward Endrick, has transformed <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/real-madrid">Real Madrid</a> into a global powerhouse. However, it seems the club’s ambitions are far from over. There’s a player willing to forgo part of his salary to join these stars at the Bernabeu, indicating that Real Madrid’s pursuit of greatness is far from complete.



According to Spanish newspaper AS, a central defender currently playing alongside <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cristiano-ronaldo">Cristiano Ronaldo</a> at Al Nassr in Saudi Arabia has reached out to his agent to expedite his departure from the club. This move comes in response to Real Madrid’s interest in signing him before his contract with the Saudi club expires.

The central defender in question is none other than Aymeric Laporte. The player, fresh off winning the Euro 2024 with Spain, has requested to expedite his departure due to his difficulty adjusting to life in Saudi Arabia. Laporte is reportedly willing to forgo the remainder of his contract and significantly reduce his salary to make a move to Real Madrid.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/soccer/why-is-kylian-mbappe-not-traveling-to-the-u-s-tour-with-real-madrid"></div>


<h2>What is Aymeric Laporte’s situation at Al Nassr?</h2>



The central defender has two years remaining on his contract in Saudi Arabia, but reports indicate that he hasn’t been fully satisfied with the league and is seeking an exit. The prospect of joining Real Madrid appeals to him, and he is one of the players Carlo Ancelotti is closely considering.



The player is so eager to join Real Madrid that salary is not a concern. He signed a three-year contract with Al Nassr worth €24 million per year. While Real Madrid is not prepared to match that salary, Laporte is willing to significantly reduce his wages. Additionally, he would forgo the €48 million remaining on his contract with the Saudi club.



<h2>Carlo Ancelotti and his thoughts on the squad</h2>



Although Italian coach Carlo Ancelotti recently expressed satisfaction with the current squad in a press conference, he also gave a positive nod to the potential arrival of Aymeric Laporte at Real Madrid.

Laporte would complete the central defense lineup alongside Militao, Rüdiger, Alaba, and Vallejo. However, the Austrian defender, who is still recovering from a knee injury, is not expected to be available for Ancelotti until at least November.

As European soccer gears up for a new season, several star players are staying busy with various activities.



Take, for instance, the rising global star, Spanish sensation <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lamine-yamal">Lamine Yamal</a>. After helping Spain secure the UEFA Euro 2024 title in Germany, Yamal is now enjoying a well-deserved vacation. He’ll soon shift his focus to the upcoming season with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/barcelona">FC Barcelona</a>.



In the final stretch of his break, Yamal spent a few days in Algarve, located in southern Portugal. And when talking about Portugal, it’s impossible not to think of one of the greatest soccer players of the modern era, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cristiano-ronaldo">Cristiano Ronaldo</a>.



It was in Algarve that Lamine Yamal crossed paths with someone very close to Cristiano Ronaldo, the former Real Madrid star now shining with Al-Nassr in Saudi Arabia. Yamal’s father captured the moment in a photo that quickly went viral on social media.

<h2>Lamine Yamal’s unique encounter</h2>



During the final stretch of his vacation, Spanish star Lamine Yamal had an interesting encounter with someone closely connected to Cristiano Ronaldo—Cristiano Ronaldo Jr. The young Ronaldo didn’t hesitate to approach Yamal, and the two posed for a photo that quickly went viral.

<h2>What’s next for Yamal?</h2>



After a well-deserved break, Lamine Yamal is expected to join FC Barcelona’s preseason training in the coming days. He’ll be under the guidance of new head coach Hansi Flick as the team prepares for the Joan Gamper Trophy match against AS Monaco on August 12.

Cristiano Ronaldo isn’t just focused on his football career with Al Nassr in the Saudi Arabian Pro League; he’s also branching out into new ventures beyond the pitch. The global star is making headlines for his expanding interests outside of football, marking a significant shift in his off-field pursuits.



While an official release date is yet to be confirmed, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cristiano-ronaldo">Cristiano Ronaldo</a> is making a major play in the video game industry. The football star has made a substantial investment in UFL, a new title poised to challenge established giants like EA Sports FC and eFootball. Ronaldo’s involvement is generating significant buzz, positioning UFL as a serious competitor in the gaming world.



What will distinguish UFL from other football games? The game promises to stand out with its commitment to regularly updated ratings, ensuring that it closely mirrors real-life football dynamics as accurately as possible. This dedication to ongoing improvements aims to deliver a more authentic and immersive experience for players.



Stryker Inc. CEO Eugene Nashilov reveald key details about the videogame upcoming soon: 



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20240731_BUS_152569_Cristiano-Ronaldo-4-1-1024x576_502b511c.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Cristiano Ronaldo UFL" class="wp-image-152674" srcset="https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/Cristiano-Ronaldo-4-1-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/Cristiano-Ronaldo-4-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/Cristiano-Ronaldo-4-1-768x432.jpg 768w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/Cristiano-Ronaldo-4-1-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/Cristiano-Ronaldo-4-1.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Cristiano Ronaldo of Al Nassr looks on prior the Saudi Pro League match between Al-Taawoun and Al-Nassr at King Abdullah Sport City Stadium on December 30, 2023 in Buraydah, Saudi Arabia.</figcaption></figure>



“The player ratings will be updated on a very regular basis, so they will always be live ratings. Once a month, we will be changing the parameters of all the players in the transfer market. For example, if you buy Kevin De Bruyne – after a month, his parameters will change based on how he’s performed in real life.”



<h2>Lionel Messi ranks in the top 5</h2>



One of the most striking revelations about the upcoming video game UFL is its current Top 5 ranking. Notably, Cristiano Ronaldo is absent from this list, while <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lionel-messi">Lionel Messi</a> holds the number 5 spot. This ranking underscores Messi’s prominent position within the game’s roster.

In 2017, Real Madrid had a phenomenal year, dominating both Spain and Europe under coach <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/zinedine-zidane">Zinedine Zidane</a>, capturing five trophies, including the Champions League with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cristiano-ronaldo">Cristiano Ronaldo</a> as the big figure. Among the stars of that team was a young talent on the verge of breaking records, who now faces a very different reality.



At just 16 years old, Moha Ramos earned a spot on the first team due to injuries to Keylor Navas and Luca Zidane. He was on the bench for 10 matches across various competitions like the Club World Cup and the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/champions-league">Champions League</a>. If Kiko Casilla had been unavailable, Ramos might have become the youngest goalkeeper in Real Madrid’s history.



However, his career trajectory took a downturn, leading him to lower divisions and now, prison. The former <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/real-madrid">Real Madrid</a> academy player was arrested in Lanzarote, where he was set to play his next match with Tenerife B. The Superior Court of Justice of the Canary Islands reported that the Penal Court No. 7 made the decision to incarcerate him.



Now 24, Ramos was sentenced for drunk driving and two counts of causing injury. His imprisonment comes after the revocation of a suspended sentence due to his failure to appear at a court summons in Madrid.

<h2>Moha Ramos’ career post-Real Madrid</h2>



After leaving Real Madrid, the Spanish goalkeeper sought playing time first in Birmingham in 2019 but did not find the spotlight needed to propel his career. He returned to Spain, playing for Real Unión, Racing de Santander, and Real Avilés. Ramos then moved to Las Palmas B and currently plays for Tenerife’s second team, although he has yet to make his debut in LaLiga.
