live broadcast on september 3rd, the portuguese national team is about to start the uefa nations league journey. ronaldo was interviewed and talked about his future in the national team.

---have you ever thought about leaving the national team after the 2024 european cup?

c ronaldo: "this is all what the media said, i never thought about it. on the contrary, it only gives me more motivation to move forward."

---if you play as a substitute, will you continue to play for the national team?

c ronaldo: "i always think i will be the starter. i always respect the decisions of the coach and the club coach, and always respect them. once or twice... (laughs), they behaved inappropriately towards me. as long as there is professional ethics, i will respect the coach's decision. when they deviate from professional ethics, then there will be controversy."

"i think i am valuable to the national team now, and the coach's words also show this. when i feel that i am not valuable, i will take the initiative to leave and leave with a clear conscience."

"i know what i can do and i will continue to do it. i feel very optimistic and happy about the current situation, and (qualifiers and the european championship) are generally positive."

"when that moment comes, i will be the first to speak out and people don't have to have an opinion on it. it's not a difficult decision to make. it's a normal decision, just like everyone else."

"we have the example of pepe, who had an outstanding career and is an example for everyone, and he left with dignity. i think every player who has played for the national team for many years will think that leaving through the door like this should be seen with joy, not sadness.

"will i be ready for the 2026 world cup? i feel good, almost there, but it's 2026 and i can't answer that question."

"the situation is good at the moment and the key is to live in the present moment, which is very positive. now we have to focus on playing well in the uefa nations league. 2026 is too far away."
