Neves snubs Ronaldo in star player picks
12 Apr
Summary
- Neves' player picks excluded Cristiano Ronaldo.
- Neves selected himself as Portugal's best player.
- Ronaldo leads scorers in Saudi league with 24 goals.
João Neves, a key figure for Portugal, has generated buzz following an interview where he named his top player from each football league. Notably absent from his list was his national teammate, Cristiano Ronaldo. Neves' selections included Bruno Fernandes for the Premier League, Lamine Yamal for La Liga, and Lionel Messi for MLS. His most surprising choices were for the Saudi Pro League and the Portugal national team. Despite Cristiano Ronaldo's stellar performance of 24 goals in 24 matches in the Saudi Pro League and his veteran status, Neves did not include him. Instead, Neves confidently named himself as the best player on the Portugal squad. This assertion underscores his self-belief, especially after a season where he played a crucial role in PSG's UEFA Champions League victory. Portugal is anticipated to be a strong contender in the upcoming World Cup, and both Neves and Ronaldo will be vital to their chances of securing the title.
