Cristiano Ronaldo déclare que prendre sa retraite de l’équipe nationale du Portugal ne sera pas une décision difficile.
In a recent press conference, Cristiano Ronaldo, the legendary Portuguese striker, discussed his future in international football. Despite already holding the national records for appearances and goals, Ronaldo has no plans to retire anytime soon. At the age of 39, he believes he will know when the time is right to step away from the game.
Ronaldo’s commitment to representing Portugal was evident as he spoke about his desire to continue contributing to the team. He acknowledged that retiring from international football would not be a difficult decision if he felt he was no longer making a meaningful impact.
The criticism Ronaldo faced for his performances at Euro 2024 did not deter him from his dedication to the sport. Although he failed to score in the tournament, he remained an integral part of the Portuguese side that reached the quarter-finals. Alongside his 41-year-old teammate Pepe, Ronaldo was one of the oldest players at the competition.
Reflecting on Portugal’s Euros campaign, Ronaldo acknowledged that the expectations placed on the national team were too high. Despite their talented squad, they fell short and were eliminated by France in a penalty shootout. However, Ronaldo remains focused on the upcoming UEFA Nations League matches against Croatia and Scotland.
At the club level, Ronaldo has started the 2024/25 season in fine form for Al-Nassr. The former Manchester United and Real Madrid star has already scored four goals in four games. His impressive performances demonstrate that age is just a number for the Portuguese icon.
In other news, Karim Benzema, the French striker, has spoken about his reunion with Laurent Blanc for the new Saudi season. The two have reunited at Al-Nassr, where Blanc is the head coach. Benzema expressed his excitement about working with Blanc again and emphasized the changes they have made as a team.
As the international and club football seasons continue, fans eagerly await the performances of Ronaldo, Benzema, and other footballing icons who continue to defy expectations and showcase their skills on the pitch.
