C. Ronaldo: I hope the Macedonian surprises will end © JumpStory

Portugal's national team leader Cristiano Ronaldo hopes that his desire to compete in another World Cup will come true today. The snipers just have to cross the last barrier and defeat the North Macedonian team in front of their fans. "I urge the fans to create a real hell at the 'Dragao' stadium. Last night, lying in bed, I thought that I would like not to hear the national anthem music in the arena and thus allow the fans themselves to passionately chant these words. This way the passion, our strength, and unity would be shown in order to achieve the common goal of competing in the World Cup," clarified the veteran. "For us, this is a matter of life or death. The responsibility to win this match is prevailing, it's a game of life. Macedonia has presented quite a few surprises and we hope that won't happen in the upcoming match."
