“The thing is, the air is still fresh, the air is really cold here. But it remains more or less the same as it was, it’s a little more tense, we’re not going to lie. We’re trying to remedy things. We’re in a more tense moment, not a matter of life or death, but we know we have to win. And we know that tomorrow we need the fans. They need to transmit the strength and positivity that we need. I believe that tomorrow will be a beautiful day for football fans and we have to think positively,” he said.
Ronaldo did not agree with the idea that there was a lack of competitive attitude in Thursday’s defeat in Copenhagen, although he thought it was obvious that the performance was not good, saying that was part of the game.
“I don’t agree with the attitude. There’s never a lack of attitude here in the national team. Obviously, technical things failed. But that’s how football is and things don’t always go well. The environment wasn’t conducive either. I’ve already played 50 thousand bad games, it’s part of it. There’s no need to get nervous, just clear your head and do a good training session today,” he said.
Furthermore, the striker who plays for Saudi club Al Nassr guarantees that he wants Portugal to win, regardless of whether CR7 starts or not, saying that he accepts a scenario in which the team wins even without Ronaldo in the starting eleven.
“We will try to do our best. I don’t believe anyone is here without trying to do their best. I just want to win. If I don’t play and Portugal wins, I’ll sign up right now. I’ve always said that and I’ll continue to support the team when I’m no longer here,” he assured. Stay ahead with BBscore football.
