Cristiano was speaking to the Press ahead of Portugal's R16 encounter against flamboyant Spain
“I will retire when I want, not when you want”.
“Whether I play or I stay on the bench, the influence will not change”.
“People question me starting at 41? It’s been 23 years with people trying to kill me…”. 🔪
“But they know now they’re wasting their time”.
“They try, try, try… but it’s not worth it”.
“I am used to that”.
“I will not be ‘more Cristiano’ if we win the World Cup, or ‘less Cristiano’ if we don’t win it”. 🏆🇵🇹
“I’m grateful to life. I’m enjoying every single day, I’ve been lucky. I learned to enjoy day by day”.
“My mission is to work hard in attack, keep defenders busy, help the team… but you know, if the ball is there around the box, I will put it inside the net”.
“I’m not the player I was before, but… I keep scoring goals. And I hope to score tomorrow”.
“If I can’t score, it will be another teammate to score and we hope to go to the next round. The mission is to advance, not for me to score”.
My feeling is that we will WIN tomorrow, because we arrive with hope, let’s see”.
“I value those fans that simply LOVE me and the team, without thinking about the others. I thank them for the support”.
"Yes, it’s my last one. Let’s go and enjoy it”.
