The Real Madrid winger has admitted that Portugal are not the favourites to win the upcoming European Championships in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ukraine-c3032 and Poland unlike such as Netherlands, Germany and Spain...
Ronaldo has confirmed that Portugal are surely not one of the favourites to win the European Championships in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Germany-c2904 and Spain. However
the Real Madrid man is adamant that to reach the top of his footballing career, he has to lead Portugal to victory at the international stage in a major tournament.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Greece-c2908 in the end. It was a real heartbreak for
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ronaldo-c31734 who was just an unproven winger back then. This time around Ronaldo will captain Portugal at the European Championships but now Portugal’s squad lacks the quality that they possessed in 2004 along with the home support that really propelled them forwards.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Spain-c3011 I was disappointed when
I saw the draw with Portugal being allotted certainly to the hardest of all groups.”
He added, “But the silver lining is that we will be better focused against teams like Germany or http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Netherlands-c753 than we would be against weaker outfits. I will only be fully content with my career when I have lifted a trophy with
Portugal."
Ronaldo has come under criticism in the past for not playing well for Portugal and performing in their big matches but the former Manchester United man is now determined to take Portugal to glory in the European Championships.
It will be interesting to see whether Ronaldo plays as a striker for the Iberian giants or as a winger as in the past he has been used in both of these roles with relative success coming as a winger in the 2006 FIFA World Cup and
the 2004 European Championships.
