Renowned Brazilian footballer, Ronaldo Nazario, has announced his decision to stop watching football.
The legendary footballer stated that he finds the sport dull and not valuable to his time.
Sportxparte reports that the former Barcelona, Inter Milan, Real Madrid, and AC Milan made this declaration following Brazil’s lacklustre 0-0 tie with Costa Rica at the start of their Copa America tournament.
Even though Dorival Junior’s team took 19 shots on goal during the match, they only scored four, failing to establish any sort of momentum or consistency.
It is worth noting that Brazil currently ranks second in their group, with Colombia in the lead, following their victory over Paraguay with a score of 2-1.
Brazil’s next match is scheduled for Saturday against Paraguay, but it appears that Ronaldo has seen it all and is not planning to support the Brazilian team at the Copa America.
“I think I love tennis more now than football. I cannot watch football matches. I think it’s too boring,” Ronaldo said at the Mouratoglou Annual Charity Gala.
“I can stay for 5 hours watching tennis.”
The next tennis tournament is the Wembley Open which comes up on July 1st.
Ex-Barcelona Star, Neymar Names Toughest Player He Ever Played Against
Meanwhile, former Barcelona star, Neymar Jr, has identified Thiago Silva, his compatriot, as the most challenging opponent he has faced throughout his professional football career.
Neymar and Silva were teammates at Paris Saint-Germain and also represented Brazil together.
They faced each other in the UEFA Champions League during Neymar’s tenure with Barcelona and Silva’s with Paris Saint-Germain.
In a recent conversation with VIVA Sport, Neymar, who currently plays for Al Hilal, was questioned about, “Who is the toughest player you have faced?”
The 32-year-old then replied: “Thiago Silva.”
Silva has been a part of teams such as AC Milan, PSG, and Chelsea.
The experienced defender moved to Palmeiras in Brazil without a contract after his deal with the Premier League west London team ended after the 2023/24 season.
