Portugal manager, Roberto Martinez has come out to say that Cristiano Ronaldo’s hunger for the game is keeping him in the frame at international level at the age of 39. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, he has worked with many players during his long career, but what sets Ronaldo apart is the need to always be prepared to be the best.
Martinez added that Cristiano’s contagious hunger is difficult to achieve for a regular player.
His words, “I’ve worked with many, but what sets Cristiano apart is the need to always be prepared to be the best. A contagious hunger, but very difficult to achieve.”
On Euro 2024, “We have already won once. We are lucky to be able to play with four generations. Winning a European Championship has to do with the details of the day- It’s a very demanding tournament, but what matters are the details.
France produces players at a volume that no other country can. England has a coach who created a club culture within the team. Belgium has a generation that is very competitive. And you can never leave out Italy, competitive for nature. And Germany, having a difficult period, but in ‘their tournament’ they can be champions.”
WOW.
