Joao Cancelo has dismissed the recent criticism aimed at Cristiano Ronaldo and Neymar during the current FIFA World Cup. The Portuguese defender stated that both superstars have already solidified their legacies through their extensive accomplishments in the sport.
Speaking before Portugal’s match against Uzbekistan, Cancelo emphasized that the pair does not need to justify their presence to anyone. He characterized the negative commentary as unnecessary noise, noting that their individual talents and contributions to their national teams are well-established.
Ronaldo recently faced scrutiny following his performance against DR Congo, while Neymar has dealt with questions regarding his selection for the Brazilian team. Cancelo remains firm in his belief that these players understand their own value regardless of outside opinions.
