Ronaldo, who celebrated his 39th birthday in February, continues to defy expectations of aging in the latter phase of his career. The Portuguese star, now playing for Al-Nassr, concluded 2023 as the world’s top male goalscorer and currently leads the Saudi Pro League Golden Boot race with an impressive tally of 22 goals this season. Despite his advancing years, Ronaldo remains a pivotal figure for both his club and the Portuguese national team, as emphasized by manager Martinez, who describes him as the finest player he has ever collaborated with.
Martinez elaborated on Ronaldo’s exceptional qualities, highlighting his relentless drive and unwavering commitment to excellence. Looking ahead to Euro 2024, Martinez acknowledged the competitive landscape, emphasizing the importance of attention to detail in such high-stakes tournaments. He recognized the strengths of other footballing nations like France, England, Belgium, Italy, and Germany, acknowledging their potential to excel in the championship.
With a decorated career already, Ronaldo aims to further enrich his trophy collection before retiring. Despite nearing his 40s, Ronaldo has hinted at prolonging his career and remains under contract with Al-Nassr until 2025. Currently, Ronaldo’s team holds the second spot in the Saudi Pro League standings, trailing Al-Hilal by seven points.
Martinez and Ronaldo will reunite with the Portuguese national team for Euro 2024.
