Young Portuguese midfielder Rodrigo Mora has declined the chance to wear Cristiano Ronaldo's famous No. 7 shirt, stating it is too much for him. The 19-year-old Porto player recently had a chance to share the dressing room with Ronaldo, who recently announced his retirement from international football. Despite considering Ronaldo a major inspiration, Mora expressed gratitude for the opportunity to play alongside football's greatest player.
Mora, who wears the number 86 jersey, firmly ruled out the idea of donning Ronaldo's iconic number, saying it carries too much significance. Ronaldo's legacy with the Portuguese national team is immense, being the country's top scorer and helping secure the 2016 European Championship title. Meanwhile, Mora is a highly regarded young talent in Portuguese football, having progressed through Porto's academy and earning senior team opportunities.
He appears content to establish his own identity, rather than assume the responsibilities that come with wearing Ronaldo's famous number 7 shirt.
