“He is 18 years old.” The Portugal coach is obsessed with Ronaldo’s level! | Egypt Goal.com

After a period of disappointment, Cristiano Ronaldo is currently experiencing his best time with the Portugal national team, thanks entirely to the new Spanish coach, Roberto Martinez.

On Sunday evening, the Portuguese national team ended its qualifying campaign for Euro 2024 in an ideal manner, achieving 10 victories and obtaining 30 points, after defeating Iceland with two unanswered goals.

After the match, Martinez spoke about Ronaldo, in statements reported by the Spanish newspaper “AS”: “It is difficult for me to explain how a 38-year-old player, who has played more international matches than any other player in the world, has the hunger of a player of… Age 18 years.

He added: “This is the strength that is passed on to others in the locker room. A player who always tries to be in the right place, who loves to score, but who has a lot of team discipline. He is an example in the locker room, and it is great to have a player with his experience.”

Ronaldo’s mentality change regarding the Portuguese national team came after a conversation with Martinez, immediately after he took over the task of leading the “Travellers” after the “Madeira Missile” was struggling in the 2022 World Cup.

It seems that everything changed with Ronaldo in the Portugal national team with the new coach, as he regained his untouchable position in the team.
