Cristiano Ronaldo at 39 Heads to Euro 2024, Proving Age Is No Barrier for Today's Soccer Elite

Cristiano Ronaldo at 39 Heads to Euro 2024, Proving Age Is No Barrier for Today's Soccer Elite

Since the appointment of Roberto Martinez as the Portugal team coach, he has supported Cristiano Ronaldo unconditionally. He expects that the nation’s religion will help it to the second UEFA European Championship triumph. Ronaldo has had an astonishing record of earning 206 caps and scoring 128 goals for the men’s national team of Portugal under Martinez .

 

Martinez is fully behind Ronaldo and wants his side to claim another UEFA Euro 2020. Since Martinez took charge, Ronaldo amassed 206 appearances and 128 goals; he set all sorts of records.

 

Cristiano Ronaldo, aged 39 years, will be continuing to break more records again in Germany this summer. He will attend the European Championship for the sixth time (and the 11th major tournament in his career) with the aim of becoming a record-breaking 15th goal in the championship again. Ronaldo eased the fears of the Portuguese team, fans and management that moving to the Saudi Pro League would hinder his representation of Portugal having scored as the second-best striker in the Euro 2024 qualification matches. The audience is confident he remains a force to reckon with on the international stage due to his trim figure.

 

Santos stunned many by leaving Ronaldo on the bench during the 2022 World Cup knockout round. This decision was made at the same time as Portugal’s Copa Africa ouster at the quarterfinal stage at the hands of Morocco. However, the professional and well-known striker has stood firm to his belief of being the lucky charm of the group. This means that Ronaldo does not take a step backwards even in presence of other strong striking forces such as Fernandes, Jota, Silva and Ramos; all these shows how hardworking and unique the football star is out there.

 

"Cristiano is a unique player in the world, with the highest number of international caps," In the early days of his tenure, Martinez commented on his appointment, coming in the aftermath of Belgium's disappointing group-stage exit in the Qatar World Cup. "All players have an important role. The younger ones due to their willingness to play, and players like Cristiano Ronaldo, Rui Patricio and Bernardo Silva bring experience.”

 

However, Ronaldo may be a wise old man on the team, he is not the oldest one. There is, however, one player in the current footballing world whom Ronaldo deems worthy of the ‘ever-young’ title, and that is former Real Madrid teammate Pepe, who is 41 and still playing for Porto.

 

This looks set to be the case as Otavio, Ronaldo’s Al-Nassr teammate will be unavailable through injury, thereby seeing Manchester City’s Matheus Nunes join the party.

 

Portugal are favored in the Group F, but Ronaldo knows better than anyone how dangerous intra-group games can be. Portugal managed only a place in the last 16 in the 2016 title winning campaign, finishing third in the group stages after games against Austria, Hungary and Iceland.

 

His team-mate Otavio at Al-Nassr is out injured and a new player included is Matheus Nunes, a Manchester City midfielder.

 

Portugal is expected to top group F, but Ronaldo has encountered how tough even what appears to be a straightforward group can be. Portugal could only go as far as the group stage in the 2016 championship tournament where they were paired with Iceland, Austria, and Hungary.

 

Portugal wants to become a part of a special club of teams that won the trophy in 3 or less tournaments. In fact, only West Germany twice, in 1972 and 1980 and Spain in 2008 and 2012 were able to achieve this.
