Cristiano Ronaldo’s World Cup final fell short of expectations. He lost his starting place and when he was brought on he didn’t make a difference and Portugal were knocked out by Morocco in the quarter-finals.
Cristiano Ronaldo will play in the qualification for Euro-2024
Coach Fernando Santos was sacked after the 2022 World Cup failure in Qatar and replaced by Roberto Martinez, who has no intention of giving up on Ronaldo.
The new coach took advantage of the Spanish Super Cup in Saudi Arabia to meet Cristiano Ronaldo in Riyadh. With the help of this discussion, Martinez wanted to make sure that he can rely on CR7 in the next qualifiers for Euro 2024, which will be played in Germany, writes the Daily Mail.
At the presentation conference as coach of Portugal, Martinez spoke openly about the Al-Nasr star.
“Decisions are made on the ground, not in offices. I want to contact all the players, including Ronaldo, who plays for the national team for 19 years. I hope we can form the best team with him,” said Roberto Martinez.
Cristiano Ronaldo is the player with the most matches in the Portuguese shirt – 196 and the top scorer in history – 118 goals.
