Cristiano’s Brilliant Post-Match Interview
Ronaldo wished Uruguay well after losing to them, he also hailed world football governing body FIFA and the host country Russia for a wonderful treatment, but refused to speak about whether he will continue or not with the National team.
When asked about the match with Uruguay, he said (We must congratulate Uruguay because they are the national team that are in the quarter-finals, I think we played a good game and maybe we deserved more, but in football the ones that score the most goals win and they scored two, so congratulations. We leave with our heads held high. As the captain of Portugal I know how hard we have worked and we must be proud of the team. And I also want to congratulate the organisation of this World Cup, it has been fantastic in every way; the organisation, the security, the atmosphere is perfect and it must be said. We go with our heads held high and we are sure that this team will continue to win things).

Notwithstanding, this year’s tournament would have been his realistic opportunity to lift the biggest trophy in the World of football, but was so disappointed by being eliminated at the round of 16.
Ronaldo got more frustrated as he was yellow carded for shouting at the centre referee Cesar Arturo Ramos when he went against Portugal in making a vital decision at the later stage of the game.

I am confident and happy because this team will always fight with all their strength).
Meanwhile, before the tournament, Ronaldo had spoken about his wish to continue playing and predicted that based on his strength so far, he will still make more two world cup appearances ahead, meaning that he will be bowing out of the National team at 41.
