Bernardo Silva insisted the ambiance round Portugal’s World Cup camp was “top, top, top,” regardless of mounting controversy generated by Cristiano Ronaldo‘s current interview in England. Five-time Ballon d’Or winner and all-time prime worldwide goalscorer in males’s soccer Ronaldo lashed out at his membership Manchester United and coach Erik ten Hag earlier this week when chatting with TalkTV. Questions about Ronaldo dominated Silva’s press convention and the Manchester City midfielder was not eager to reply in depth, though he did say the ahead was targeted and motivated.

“The news from England has nothing to do with the national team,” stated Silva.

“It also has nothing to do with me, so I won’t comment. I’m not a Manchester United player, even if I were, I wouldn’t answer. They’re a rival club, it’s nothing to do with me.”

However, repeatedly requested about Ronaldo and whether or not there was any pressure within the camp after he appeared to share a frosty interplay with membership team-mate Bruno Fernandes, Silva responded.

“I don’t see any strange atmosphere in our team between Cristiano and another player,” he stated.

“It is his matter that he has to resolve individually with the right person.”

“I a motivated and focused Ronaldo, like everyone else, and he is another player here to help our country and the national team.

“There is quite a lot of discuss this subject, however we now have a World Cup to play. I do not perceive the persistence as a result of there’s nothing there.”

Portugal shone in their 4-1 win over Nigeria without Ronaldo, but Silva said it was normal that the team could function well without their talisman.

“He’s a part of the workforce, clearly, however when he is not there, we all know easy methods to reply. Whenever he wasn’t there, we responded nicely. We’re prepared.

“There are 26 of us, it doesn’t matter if it’s one person or another (playing).”

Ronaldo is ready to look at his fifth World Cup and Euro 2016 winners Portugal open their marketing campaign in opposition to Ghana on November 24, earlier than dealing with Uruguay and South Korea.
