ONeill Match Davies to Cristiano Ronaldo

Northern Ireland national team coach Michael O'Neill compared captain Steven Davies with Portuguese footballer Cristiano Ronaldo. O'Neill thinks Davies is worth mentioning, like Ronaldo, a soccer player who has always been the center of attention.

Davies, now 34, played 112 times with Northern Ireland. If Davies strikes when Northern Ireland faces Germany in an advanced European Cup qualifying match 2020, he will be considered a field player (outside the goalkeeper) with no more caps from his country.

Today, Davies has the same hat as the Northern Irish legend, Aaron Hughes. Given Davis's motivation and physical superiority, O'Neill believes that players can break records for most of the Northern Ireland national team's play.

At present, the record number of national team selections in Northern Ireland belongs to legendary goalkeeper Pat Jennings, who has collected 118 appearances. Now, Davies only shows that relevance is called Ronaldo.

A few days ago, I saw Cristiano Ronaldo playing at the age of 34 while defending his country (Portugal). Defending the national team means a lot to him. Steven (Davies) deserves the same spotlight as Ronaldo. Because, in the near future, this will surpass Pat Jennings' record, "O'Neill quoted the Daily Mail on Monday (9/9/2019).

In addition to the Davies-Ronaldo comparison, Northern Ireland has distinguished itself in qualifying for the 2020 European Cup. Of the four matches in Group A, they always win the match and collect 12 points. At present, Northern Ireland is three points ahead of Germany in second place.
