"Portugal has more powerful players than Ronaldo!"

"Red Viking" Denmark's head coach Brian Reamer (47) is determined ahead of the UEFA Nations League quarterfinals with Portugal. In particular, he drew attention by saying something meaningful about "superstar" Cristiano Ronaldo. Ronaldo said that he is not powerful compared to his heyday, but mentioned that Portugal has many good strikers, including Ronaldo.

Reemer left a number of remarks at a press conference ahead of the quarterfinal match against Portugal on Tuesday (Korea time). While vowing to win against Portugal, Reemer picked a target to guard against. First of all, he spoke frankly about Ronaldo. "I don't think Ronaldo is as good as he used to be," he said in a cold assessment.

Ronaldo has turned 40 years old, but he is still a good player. "Ronaldo is an evolved player. He is not in his prime, but he still has strengths," Ronaldo said. "He is still equipped with kick skills that other players do not have." Portugal's strikers, including Ronaldo, are still powerful. "There are other players in Portugal's strikers besides Ronaldo. We need to stop Bruno Fernandes and Raphael Lean," Ronaldo said. "Portugal still has good strikers, so it's not easy to deal with them."
