Cristiano Ronaldo Is Not Selfish Thinking About Individual Interests

DBasia.news –  Cristiano Ronaldo never attaches importance to winning personal awards. The Juventus superstar prioritizes collective achievement.

Ronaldo showed his playing quality again when he helped Portugal national team win 5-1 over Lithuania in the European Championship Qualification 2020 match continued on Wednesday (11/9) early morning Western Indonesian Time. In that match he scored four goals – another scored by William Carvalho.

Four goals that increase Ronaldo’s goals to 93 goals for the Portugal national team. This great performance can be a separate assessment ahead of the FIFA Best Player of the Year awards ceremony and the 2019 Ballon d’Or.

Ronaldo was previously beaten by Liverpool defender Virgil van Dijk in winning the European Footballer of the Year award. Nevertheless, individual awards are not the top priority for the winner of five Champions League titles.

“As I always say, I do not live thinking about individual gifts. This is a consequence of what we won collectively. But this is good, I’m not lying. The most important thing is to help the team,” Ronaldo said, quoted by Goal.

“I scored against Serbia and four goals here and I am very happy. We have to remember this moment and what I want the most is to continue to look like this.”

Ronaldo, who scored 28 goals last season for Juventus in all competitions, is approaching the international goalscoring record of Iranian legend Ali Daei, who scored 109 goals for the Iranian national team. Ronaldo did not forget his teammate’s contribution to helping him look good.

“I had a good time, but the team also performed very well. I am happy and enjoyed this moment, not because I scored, but because the level I can show in the last few years. It all depends on me to continue to help the national team,” concluded Ronaldo.
