The full text is as follows:

Who dares to say that Cristiano Ronaldo will retire without winning the World Cup? You know, we are talking about one of the greatest footballers of all time and a national team that is about to go to the World Cup with a strong momentum, and such as a sloppy assertion.

Cristiano not only broke the records that everyone could imagine, but continued to prove himself year after year in succession of events, his hunger for victory never faded. His two goals in this UEFA Nations League final are enough to say everything. Today, Portugal is one of the best national teams. Why can't we believe that fate still retains the supreme trophy in football for him?

Under the leadership of Roberto Martinez, Portugal was in its heyday and he built a strong team in a very short time. This team has the most talented generation of players in Portugal's history. Young people are fearless and have excellent skills, experience in international competitions, and veterans have leadership and competition temperament. Bruno Fernandez, Bernardo Silva, Ruben Dias, Vitinia, Nuno Mendez, João Mendez, Gonzalo Ramos and, of course, Cristiano, these players form a daunting roster. This is a perfect combination of young players and experience, which is enough to play a decisive role in a shorter span of events like the World Cup.

With such a team, Portugal has every reason to compete with any strong team. As we saw in Portugal's UEFA Nations League final against Spain, Spain, which is regarded as a favorite to win the championship, also needs to face such a team that is also skillful in controlling the ball.

And among this talented group of players, Cristiano Ronaldo remains strong. At 40 years old, he has no idea of ​​retiring and is still preparing for the battle with his usual self-discipline. His physical and psychological investment is beyond his reach. His appearance was not due to feelings or fame, but because he could still bring about changes, because he was still the spiritual leader of the team. His presence is awesome, he can inspire teammates and inspire people.

Cristiano is an undisputed leader, and the power of role models is better than thousands of words. In this regard, Roberto Martinez found the key point, instead of marginalizing Cristiano, he established him as the squad core, and the embrace of the two in celebrating the victory speaks for it all. Martinez knows well who is the player who can inspire and inspire the whole team.

Cristiano's achievements are admirable. In an era where he tends to eliminate veterans, in an environment where many players start to decline after they are 30 years old, he has extended his peak with his superhuman professional attitude. He adjusted his playing style to adapt to his current physical condition and maintained a competitive mentality that would not grow old. Cristiano plays like a 20-year-old young man. He is not satisfied with five golden balls, five Champions League, and one European Cup and two European League teams. His great dream remains unchanged: to win the World Cup trophy.
