Cristiano Ronaldo, the star of the Portugal national team, shared his thoughts ahead of the UEFA Nations League playoff matches against Denmark.
Quote: “It’s not about me scoring… I want Portugal to win. If we win and I don’t play, I’m fine with that. My focus is solely on defending my country’s badge to the fullest, as always. I’d be happy if we win tomorrow and one of my teammates scores!”
Regarding Denmark’s striker Højlund, Ronaldo added: “It’s not a problem if he celebrates in my style. I know it’s not out of disrespect. I understand that not just him, but people in all sports, celebrate like I do. Hopefully, tomorrow, he’ll see me celebrating!”
Reminder: Portugal lost 1-0 to Denmark in their away match, with the only goal coming in the 78th minute from Denmark’s striker Rasmus Højlund. Ronaldo played the full 90 minutes but was unable to make a significant impact on the game.
After the match, the Al-Nassr star shared a motivational message in support of his team.
