To wrap up this interview, what message would you like to send to all the Portuguese people around the world? And how do you deal with the constant criticism and doubts about whether you should still be a starter?
Cristiano Ronaldo:
“For the past 23 years, you’ve been trying to kill me, media-wise. But by now you’ve realized it’s pointless. It’s a waste of time.
There’s no point. You try, and you try, and you try, and you try… but it doesn’t work.
I’ve completely gotten used to it. Some people like me more, others like me less. That’s part of life. I have my own preferences too.
As for your other question…
My message to the Portuguese people, whether they’re in Portugal or here, is that they are loyal. They never let us down. They’re always by our side, and they’ve always been by mine.
Everything else is just nonsense, and it means nothing to me.”
🚨 Cristiano Ronaldo: “People question me starting at 41? It’s been 23 years with people trying to kill me…”. 🔪
“But they know now they’re wasting their time”.
“They try, try, try… but it’s not worth it”.
“I am used to that”.
