Cristiano Ronaldo: My Last World Cup, Winning Won’t Change Me

Cristiano Ronaldo says he’ll retire from World Cups on his own terms, not when others demand. Whether he starts or sits on the bench, he insists his influence on the pitch will remain the same. He’s grown used to criticism over a 23-year career and won’t let a victory make him “more Cristiano” or a defeat make him “less Cristiano.” His mission is simple: work hard in attack and help the team advance, even if that means passing the goalscoring to a teammate. Grateful for every day, he admits he’s not the player he once was but still finds the net. As Portugal prepares for the round of 16, Ronaldo says he’s here to enjoy every moment of what he believes will be his final World Cup.
