Soccer requires a minimum threshold of stamina and fitness. This makes it difficult for even the aging players, but Cristiano Ronaldo is acing it at 38. Whether he will continue to do so is unknown, but his last major injury was in 2016, which proves that fitness is on his side. CR7’s recent comments, They say I’m done but I’m still proving that it’s not true,” indicate that he is not willing to give up. Additionally, with the upcoming Euros, his National Team coach, Roberto Martinez, indicated that he still has the vigor to run out continuous games!

The concerns started recently when Cristiano Ronaldo, for the first time, propelled a tour’s cancellation due to his calf injury. But considering the fans’ support with the right perception, Martinez gives his takeaway on Ronaldo’s current situation.

Even though the current injury is claimed to be a minor one, Cristiano Ronaldo had to skip an entire tour that grabbed eyeballs. However, coach Roberto Martinez’s recent comments about the star could comfort the fans. He recently said, We are sure that Cristiano can play two games in four days now. We have a very clear assessment,” indicating that his injury is not going to have any major impact and that the player can still be effective in a congested fixture phase coming up. Martinez did not stop there and further praised Ronaldo’s intent.

 

With unwavering conviction, he declared Cristiano Ronaldo’s commitment to Portugal to be beyond question. The veteran has led them to the 2024 Euros by playing all the qualifiers, barring the one against Luxembourg due to a suspension. Martinez confidently stated, “There is no doubt about that. Ronaldo is an example of how a player gives everything for the national team because he is willing to give everything for the team. He is fast and happy on the pitch.”

A Euro title will be a notable addition to his and his country’s portfolio, considering their World Cup disappointment. CR7 could also become the oldest player to score in the European competition if he gets the opportunity to score.
