Cristiano Ronaldo, at 39 years old, is still planning to play for the Portuguese national team.
Cristiano Ronaldo’s reputation is well established. A legend of the Portuguese national team, of which he is the top scorer (130 goals) and the most capped player (212), CR7, despite being 39 years old, remains competitive at this time, launched into a third Saudi season with as much determination and efficiency as ever (three goals and one assist in three official matches).
While he will celebrate his 40th birthday on February 5, the five-time Ballon d’Or winner remains committed to his national team. As he clearly suggests in an interview with the Portuguese television channel Now: ”
When I leave the national team, I will not tell anyone in advance, it will be a very spontaneous decision on my part, but also very thoughtful. At the moment, what I want is to be able to help the national team. »
A failed Euro 2024
On September 5 and 8, Portugal will take on the new Nations League against Croatia and then Scotland. With Cristiano Ronaldo in its ranks? The answer belongs to Roberto Martinez, the Spanish coach of the Reds and Greens, who has never hidden his admiration for the former Merengue goal scorer. We have followed his performance through statistics, which show that Cristiano has been well managed, well used. I have confidential information that proves it. “, the former Belgian conductor recently confided about the Portuguese star.
For Roberto Martinez, ” Age is not important in tournaments. I even think age helps. We saw it with Pepe, who played at a very high level. What is important is the work of the medical team. (…) We have not had any physical problems with him. (Ronaldo, editor’s note) ». However, at Euro 2024, for the first time in 11 major competitions played under the flags, Cristiano Ronaldo did not find the fault. And the Selecçao bowed out in the quarter-finals, eliminated on penalties by the Blues.
