da bet7k： As reported by The Daily Record, Rangers defender Bruno Alves has warned he could be forced to re-evaluate his career at the club if he’s not a first choice ahead of the World Cup next year.
What’s the story?
da bet esporte： Alves’ place in the team has been intermittent in recent weeks, mainly due to the injury, but was placed on the bench by interim manager Graeme Murty shortly after Pedro Caixinha was sacked.
Now he’s warned that if he isn’t picked to play regularly, he could be forced to move on ahead of the World Cup in Russia, a tournament he’s hoping to make with Portugal.
As quoted by The Daily Record, Alves said:
I am still playing for the national team and I need to play. We have a World Cup soon and I need to play and be fit, to try and be at the World Cup. This is important for me. Not just to help Rangers but I also want to help myself to go to the World Cup. I am an ambitious person. I like to play. If I don’t have space here or if I don’t play, I need to think about my future or about what’s going to happen next.
Those are fairly ominous words ahead of the January transfer window and in the wake of a dramatic week off the pitch for Rangers, perhaps comments that are ill-timed. The last thing they need right now are more negative headlines.
Pressure on Murty
Graeme Murty has a hard enough job over the next month to ensure that Rangers don’t fall too far behind Celtic and pressure from senior players is wholly unneeded. When making his team selections he shouldn’t feel like he has to take into account someone’s personal international selection.
Alves has performed solidly for the Light Blues this season but with players like David Bates and Ross McCrorie coming through from the youth ranks, Murty has trusted players ready to give everything for the Rangers cause.
It’s on Alves to prove he is irreplaceable with performances on the pitch.
