JAKARTA - The captain of the Portugal national team, Cristiano Ronaldo, is starting to feel uncomfortable with the question of when he will retire. He firmly stated, the decision is in his own hands.

Cristiano Ronaldo's statement also seemed to dismiss the notion that he was nearing the end of his career.

"I was asked the same questions. The person who will decide my future is me, not anyone else," said Cristiano Ronaldo, as quoted by Antara from ESPN.

"If I feel like I want to continue playing, then I will continue to play. If I don't feel like continuing to play, then I will not play. I decide, period," he continued.

The 37-year-old then responded when asked how the 2022 World Cup would be without Cristiano Ronaldo. He said, no World Cup without Portugal.

"It's not about individuals here, we are a team," he said.

The Portuguese national team must face North Macedonia to fight for tickets to the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. On paper, the Seleccao das Quinas is clearly more superior.

However, that does not mean that the victory belongs to Fernando Santos' team. If you are careless, Cristiano Ronaldo and his friends could have the same fate as the Italian national team which was eliminated by North Macedonia in the previous round.

"They have surprised (many opponents) in various matches but I am sure tomorrow they will not surprise us," said the player nicknamed CR7.

"Portugal will get better and we will go to the World Cup," continued the Manchester United player.
