"Very easy, because of his high standards, his expectations of how the work should be done and his commitment to the game. He truly is an example of what you should do to represent Portugal and the national team. And now he's adapted, obviously, after 21 years in the national team - he's adjusted. He's a goalscorer, he's an important player for us, and it's the player that he is now that is important for me."
"Ronaldo has made headlines recently after refusing to play in two matches for Al-Nassr due to a dispute with the club's hierarchy over their lack of transfer activity. The former Real Madrid and Manchester United forward is set to return to action on Saturday as Al-Nassr look to win the Saudi Pro League. Martinez was full of praise for the 41-year-old, who scored five goals in their qualifying campaign for the World Cup."
Cristiano Ronaldo has not won a World Cup, scoring eight goals and providing two assists across 22 tournament appearances. He twice refused to play for Al-Nassr amid a dispute over the club's lack of transfer activity but is set to return as the club chases the Saudi Pro League. Ronaldo maintains high standards, clear expectations for how work should be done and strong commitment, and has adapted after 21 years with the national team. He scored five goals in qualifying and 25 in his last 30 international matches. Portugal qualified for the World Cup and will face Uzbekistan, Colombia and one other qualifier in the United States, Canada and Mexico.
