Soltmurod Bakaev Wishes Portugal Success in World Championship

Akron club forward Soltmurod Bakaev shared his thoughts about the upcoming World Cup. He mentioned that he closely follows Portugal’s national team forward, Cristiano Ronaldo.

He also expressed his regret that he will not be able to support Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, as the Georgian national team did not qualify for the championship. "Who has the best chance of winning the championship?

It’s hard to say for sure, but I hope that Portugal emerges as the winner, allowing Cristiano Ronaldo to end his career on a high note," Bakaev said in an interview with "Match TV." According to the group stage draw for the championship, Portugal’s national team will compete in the same group as Colombia, Uzbekistan, and the play-off winner (Democratic Republic of Congo, Jamaica, or New Caledonia).

The best result in Portugal's World Cup history was achieving third place in 1966. Read “Zamin” on Telegram!
