JAKARTA - Portugal National Team captain Cristiano Ronaldo will determine the continuation of his future on the international stage after completing the entire series of 2026 World Cup competitions.
"The future is not important right now. I will talk about it. I will have time, after we win or lose, to talk to my family, and then make decisions as I usually do," Ronaldo said, quoted by ANTARA from ESPN, Saturday, July 4.
The 41-year-old Al Nassr star insists he does not want to make a hasty decision and prefers to focus on enjoying the momentum of the current tournament.
Ronaldo made the statement after helping the Selecao das Quinas advance to the round of 16 with a narrow 2-1 victory over Croatia in a match that took place in Toronto, Canada, Friday (3/7) WIB.
In the match, Ronaldo scored the equalizer through a penalty, before being replaced in the 81st minute.
"Football is like this. To win this kind of competition, we have to learn to suffer. It was a very exciting game for the fans," said Ronaldo, who has 146 international goals.
Meanwhile, AC Milan striker Goncalo Ramos, who was the hero of Portugal's victory, admitted that he was optimistic about making a big contribution even before entering the field.
"Ronaldo told me I would help. And at halftime, I told them not to worry, if I came in, I would score," said Ramos.
In the next 16th round, Portugal is scheduled to face their neighbors, Spain, in a crucial match that will be held in Dallas, Texas, on Tuesday morning WIB.
