Ronaldo believes it’s Brazil’s time

– Former Brazilian striker Ronaldo believes it is time for his country to live up to the expectations and end their 16-year wait for a World Cup in Russia.

“I think for me the favourite is, of course, Brazil, not just because I am Brazilian but because Brazil are playing very well,” Ronaldo told reporters in Moscow.

“I hope Brazil can win. It’s a long time since 2002, and I think it’s time.”

They open their campaign against Switzerland on Sunday.
