Portugal national team star Cristiano Ronaldo shared his expectations for the UEFA Nations League playoff matches against Denmark.
Quote. "It's not about me scoring... I want Portugal to win. If we win, and I don't play, I'm fine with that.
I'm focused only on defending my country's badge to the death, as always. I'd be happy if we win tomorrow and my teammate scores!
Højlund? It's not a problem when he celebrates in my style. I know it's not out of disrespect. I understand that not only him but in all sports, there are people who celebrate like me. Hopefully, tomorrow, he'll see me celebrating!" said Ronaldo on the eve of the game.
Reminder. The Portuguese team lost away to Denmark with a score of 1-0. The only goal in the match was scored in the 78th minute by the home team's striker Rasmus Højlund. Ronaldo played the entire match but failed to make any decisive actions.
After the match, the Al-Nassr star posted a motivational message in support of his team.
