In the event that he is benched at the 2024 European Championship, Cristiano Ronaldo has stated that he will respect the decision made by manager Roberto Martinez. His goal is to assist Portugal in reaching the last round of the competition, and he is prepared to lend a hand whenever it is required.
Ronaldo revealed to the media that he was prepared to compete in the 2024 European Championship. He went on to say that the aim is to be ready to assist on the field, and that he was not attempting to have every game be his starting position. From the Metro, he stated:
“The most essential thing is that I be in good health, both physically and mentally. I am well-prepared, and I always make sure to prepare in the most effective manner. At all times, I will be prepared to assist our nation, and I will respect the decisions that the coach makes.
One must keep in mind that [winning the Euros], maintain a good attitude, and proceed in a step-by-step manner. Dreaming is a free activity, and this group have the ability to dream. Without hard work, nothing can be accomplished; we have to put in the effort and battle for what we want.
The decision by Fernando Santos to remove Cristiano Ronaldo from the starting lineup during the FIFA World Cup caused a commotion among the fans. In the end, the coach decided to step down after the team was eliminated from the competition by Morocco in the quarterfinals.
There is uncertainty regarding Cristiano Ronaldo’s future in sport.
Cristiano Ronaldo has not been able to provide a definitive answer on the length of time he will be able to continue playing. In spite of the fact that he is 39 years old, he is still having a good time. He declared that the years that follow the age of 35 are always a gift.
It was him who said:
“I am aware that I do not have a lot of years left to play football. From the age of 35 onward, it is a gift to continue to play. I am 39 years old, and I make it a point to enjoy myself every year. It is a remarkable experience to score for the national squad. The national team is the love of my life, and it would be a dream come true if we were to win the European cup.
“When it comes to me, being a member of the national team is a love and a passion. This will be my sixth European Championship, which is also a record. Any game is great, but a European Championship is especially memorable. From the time I made my debut in 2004, when I was playing, until the present day, the feeling that I have is always one of pride and passion. This is the best that can possibly be said about it.
On Tuesday, June 18, Cristiano Ronaldo and Portugal will kick off their campaign for the European Championship in 2024 by playing against the Czech Republic. Following that, they will play Turkey and Georgia in the remaining group stage fixtures.
