Hi Koora – Coach Roberto Martinez revealed the Portugal national team roster in preparation for the upcoming international break during the month of November.
The list witnessed a surprise that no one expected, which was represented by the presence of the name of the legend Cristiano Ronaldo.
Yes, Ronaldo’s presence is usually normal with the Portuguese national team, but most of the media expected him to be excluded this time in order to rest him, especially because his country’s national team has officially qualified for Euro 2024, which means that the matches he will play during the FIFA period this time will be more like friendly matches.
Martinez violated logic and expectations from the critics’ point of view, and perhaps he did so because of his very good relationship with Cristiano, without forgetting that the latter is the captain of the Portuguese national team, and therefore it is difficult to abandon him, whatever the circumstances.
What is also certain is that Martinez wanted the Don to break more records at the international level, because Ronaldo is currently the player who has participated most internationally in the history of football teams with 203 matches, and he is also considered the all-time top scorer for the national teams with 127 goals, so he can set new records during this break. However, the fear remains that he will suffer any injury that could threaten his entire season, given his advanced age.
