Portugal coach Roberto Martinez deflected questions about Cristiano Ronaldo’s international future, emphasizing the team’s collective struggles.
When asked directly if Ronaldo would remain with the team, Martinez highlighted the team’s current challenges.
He stressed that decisions would be made based on the needs of the entire squad, not on individual situations. He said, “We are suffering as a team, there’s no individual decision at this point”.
This suggests Ronaldo’s place is not guaranteed and will be evaluated alongside the team’s overall performance.
