Portugal manager Roberto Martínez has disclosed that no one should doubt Cristiano Ronaldo’s ability to play in the 2030 World Cup.
Speaking on Spanish radio, El Larguero, Martínez highlighted Ronaldo’s relentless hunger and daily discipline as the driving forces behind his incredible longevity.
At that tournament,which Portugal will co-host alongside Spain and Morocco, Ronaldo would be 45 years old.

“We’ve come to a conclusion: I believe Cristiano Ronaldo doesn’t play to win a specific title, either collectively or individually. His secret isn’t what he eats, it’s his hunger.
“Whatever he wins, the next day he has the same hunger to improve. I think having that objective allows for longevity.
“I’ve worked with many, many players who, the day after winning a UEFA Champions League or a Ballon d’Or, don’t have the same hunger.”
“He will fight for it. I think no one should doubt that, at least he has earned that right.
“Don’t think that this isn’t a topic of discussion and conversation within the coaching staff, because we would love to be able to pass on Cristiano Ronaldo’s example to all young footballers in Portugal.”
Portugal will kick off their Group K campaign against Congo in Houston as Ronaldo enters his sixth World Cup, with the feat having never previously been achieved before this summer.
