Ronaldo’s Comments on His Future with the National Team

Speaking to Portuguese newspaper A Bola, Ronaldo responded to a question about whether he would be willing to represent the national team as a substitute, saying: “I will always be a regular player in any team I play for until the end of my career, I will remain so, except for one or two times when some coaches treated me badly (smiles).”

“What I feel at the moment, and the words of the coach (current Portugal national team Roberto Martinez) also make it clear, is that I will continue to be a source of strength for the team and if that is not the case I will admit it myself and I will be the first to leave,” the 39-year-old continued.

Ronaldo added: “But if I leave, I will go with a clear conscience, as always, because I know who I am, what I can do, what I will do and what I will continue to do.”

Ronaldo’s Thoughts on Retirement

When asked about retirement, Ronaldo said: “When the time comes I will move on, it will be a difficult decision to make. If I feel I can no longer contribute, I will be the first to leave.” He stressed that he never thought about retiring from international football, despite the criticism he faced at Euro 2024.
