Roberto Martinez Praises Cristiano Ronaldo's Commitment

Cristiano Ronaldo's dedication to international football at 39 is praised by Portugal coach Roberto Martinez, who highlights his exceptional work ethic and experience, having earned over 200 caps. Despite past criticism following Portugal's Euro 2024 quarter-final exit, Ronaldo remains a vital asset, recently scoring his 133rd international goal in a Nations League victory against Poland. Martinez indicated that Ronaldo will likely play a significant role in the upcoming match against Scotland on October 15, as Portugal seeks to extend their perfect record in the tournament. The team's training at St Mirren’s ground drew significant fan attention, showcasing Ronaldo's star power. While Ronaldo is a key player, Martinez stresses the importance of developing younger talents within the national squad. With three wins in their group, Portugal is close to securing their place in the quarter-finals of the Nations League.
