Morata wants Ronaldo to win the World Cup

* Spain - Morocco: 10pm today, on MetaSports.

"Honestly, I would be happy if Ronaldo won the World Cup because he has had an incredible career. But of course, the most ideal thing would be for Spain to win," Morata told Spanish newspaper AS. 5/12.

Morata played with Ronaldo for two periods at Real, 2010-2014 and 2016-2017, then reunited in the Juventus shirt in the 2020-2021 season. The duo won two La Ligas, two King's Cups, two Champions Leagues and a FIFA Club World Cup.

After Ronaldo, Morata also supported Lionel Messi and Neymar to win the gold cup in Qatar. "There are no words to describe Messi," added the 30-year-old striker. "Anyone in this generation would say that Messi and Ronaldo are amazing. I also like Neymar because the fans enjoy watching him play. Anyone who likes football will stop what they're doing to see him play. watch Messi, Ronaldo or Neymar play".

At the 2022 World Cup, Morata and Messi currently have 3 goals, just behind Kylian Mbappe - who leads with 5 goals. Ronaldo and Neymar both have only 1 goal. However, Morata does not mind the race to score the Golden Boot, because winning the gold cup with Spain is his ultimate goal.

"I will even bring the Golden Shoe cycling to France, if that makes us world champions," the Spain striker joked.

In the last round of the group stage, Spain lost to Japan and lost the first place to the opponent's own hand. According to Morata, this defeat will help Spain see the points to improve and play better in the 1/8 round. "If the loss comes in the round of 16, we will cry for the next four years. What you have to think about is that the defeat happened in the group stage, and we have the opportunity to correct it," he emphasized.

Morata highly appreciates Morocco - the team that won 2-0 Belgium to finish at the top of Group F - and does not rule out the possibility that the match at Education City, Al Rayyan city today must enter a penalty shootout.
