A visually irritated Ronaldo said, "I see many of you ask the same questions but who is going to decide my future will be me, no one else. If I feel like playing more, I will play, If I don't feel like playing more, I will not. I am my own boss, Period."


As stats tell, Ronaldo is set to become the fourth player to feature in five FIFA World Cups. He has been a regular for the national team since 2006.



Recently, Ronaldo revealed his excitement on veteran defender Pepe returning to the squad following his recovery from COVID-19. Pepe missed Portugal’s 3-1 win over Turkey in their World Cup play-off semi-final but returned to the squad for the final of the play-offs.
