克里斯蒂亞諾·羅納爾多在周一的新聞發布會上表示,自己并沒有立即退出國際足壇的想法,因為他相信自己還能為葡萄牙隊做出很多貢獻。
周四,這位時年39歲的球員在里斯本與克羅地亞隊的國家聯賽前說:“當時機成熟時,我才會退役。這不是一個很難做出的決定。”
他補充說,“如果我覺得自己不再有任何貢獻,我會第一個離開,”他引用了前隊友佩佩(凱普勒·拉韋蘭·利馬·費雷拉,昵稱佩佩)的例子,佩佩在去年8月宣布退役后“從前門離開”,當時他41歲。
這位五屆金球獎得主已為沙特阿拉伯的利雅得勝利足球俱樂部效力了近兩年,他今年第六次參加歐洲杯,但未能進球,葡萄牙隊在四分之一決賽中出局。
盡管受到媒體的批評,羅納爾多說他“從未考慮過離開國家隊”,而且得到了教練羅伯托·馬丁內斯(Roberto Martinez)的支持。
羅納爾多說:“人們對國家隊的期望太高了。”他補充說,足球運動員生命中的低谷“讓你不斷進步”。
周四與克羅地亞隊的比賽結束后,葡萄牙隊將留在里斯本,于周日迎戰蘇格蘭隊。(財富中文網)

Cristiano Ronaldo has ruled out any immediate thought of retirement from international football as he believes he still has plenty to give Portugal, he told a press conference on Monday.
“When the time comes, I’ll move on. It won’t be a difficult decision to make,” the 39-year-old said ahead of Thursday’s Nations League clash with Croatia in Lisbon.
“If I feel like I’m no longer contributing anything, I’ll be the first to leave,” he added, citing the example of his former team-mate Pepe, “who left through the front door” after announcing his retirement from the game last August at the age of 41.
The five-time Ballon d’Or winner, who has been playing for Al-Nassr in Saudi Arabia for almost two years now, failed to score as he appeared at a record sixth European Championship this year, with Portugal exiting in the quarter-finals.
In spite of the criticism he received in the press Ronaldo said he “never considered leaving the national team” and he has retained the backing of coach Roberto Martinez.
“People’s expectations of the national team were too high,” said Ronaldo, adding that the bad times in a footballer’s life “allow you to evolve”.
After Thursday’s meeting with Croatia, Portugal remain in Lisbon to face Scotland on Sunday.
