Talking about the importance of Ronaldo in the team, the coach said, “It is important to understand what a player brings. Cristiano brings experience, brings goal opportunities, a way of opening up spaces. Cristiano is in the national team because he deserves to be here, just look at what he has done and what he has done in the last competitions.”
Ronaldo scored a record 35 goals for Al Nassr in his first Saudi Pro League campaign. The star striker is the all-time leading scorer in men’s international football with 130 goals.
“He was very disciplined, worked hard and is a killer, a very important box player,” Martinez said. “He opens up space. When Francisco [Conceicao] scored, the space opened up because Cristiano was in the area. We work with a focus and Cristiano is important for us, in what we try to do in the penalty area.”
