Khaberni - Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo spoke clearly for the first time about his stance on US President Donald Trump, which has sparked widespread interest due to the intertwining of sports and politics.
"The Rocket of Madeira" replied in an interview with media personality Piers Morgan, during which he described Donald Trump as one of the people who can contribute to changing the world, a statement that sparked controversy among both supporters and opponents of the president.
Ronaldo is one of the most prominent faces in global football and has a significant presence among fans, and has been known for not delving into political issues, so analysts considered this statement to be an unusual step for him.
These statements come at a time when Trump is experiencing increased political activity both inside and outside the United States.
From a sports perspective, this statement comes at a critical stage in Ronaldo's career, as he seeks to win new titles with his team in the domestic league, despite reaching the age of forty, reflecting the image of a player who transcends the boundaries of the field to the public arena.
Media reports have confirmed that this position is expected to spark a debate about the extent of sports stars' involvement in political issues, the impact of a player of his caliber's statements on his fans and his public image, as well as questioning whether this statement is an individual step or part of broader messages he is directing in the coming stage.
