Roberto Martinez lauds Ronaldo for consistency at the highest level
Portuguese manager Roberto Martinez was full of praise for his star striker Cristiano Ronaldo. This came after the icon helped seal the victory for his side late on against Iceland.
Having won all four games of the qualifiers so far, Martinez's side sits two points clear of Slovakia at the top of Group J. Speaking about Ronaldo, Martinez said:
"When you're with him, you understand why. His commitment, his total dedication, that incredible desire to be the best and improve everyone. It's something we see in very young players"
Cristiano did not surprise me with his ability; after 200 games for the national team, you can imagine the commitment; being at the highest level, it could be very easy to accept that you will not be at your best."
The former Everton manager took over as the Portugal boss from the long-serving Fernando Santos in January of this year. He was the manager of Belgium prior to taking over.
Santos left after spending eight years with the national team, winning the European Championships in 2016 and the Nations League in 2019.
