Cristiano Ronaldo, the captain of Portugal, referred to their opening World Cup group match against Ghana as the “most hardest” of the entire tournament.
On Thursday, November 24, 2022, at Stadium 974 in Doha, the opening match of Group H will feature Portugal and Ghana.
The 37-year-old said when discussing Portugal’s chances of winning the World Cup that the team must concentrate on winning their first match against Ghana, which he regarded as the “most tough.”
“Our national team has a great chance to win the World Cup, in my opinion. We’ll find out. I think we can. I hold that optimism and conviction, he said.
“But like these competitions always teach us; we must think calmly. We must think and focus on the first group game. We must think about the Ghana game which is the most difficult one.
“We must start well, gain some confidence and we will go from there,” he said.
