Portugal captain Cristiano Ronaldo and Brazil forward Neymar have nothing to prove to their doubters at the ongoing FIFA World Cup tournament.
Portugal full-back, Joao Cancelo, made the assertion while speaking to reporters ahead of Portugal’s clash with Uzbekistan in their second World Cup group game on Tuesday.
Ronaldo and Neymar have suffered criticism at the World Cup so far.
Ronaldo was criticized for his performance against DR Congo, while Neymar was criticized for his inclusion in the Brazil squad.
“I don’t think Neymar or Cristiano need to prove anything to anyone,” Cancelo said.
“Their talent and what they have achieved in football speak for themselves. All that talk is just for show.
“Both Cristiano and Neymar know who they are and what they represent for their countries,” Cancelo said.
