Follow usSelecao manager Roberto Martinez was full of praise for captain Cristiano Ronaldo after he netted in yesterday’s World Cup qualifying victory against Hungary.
Cristiano scored again as he earned a penalty for his nation and converted it in his country’s 3-2 win over Hungary.

I don’t like to talk about individual performances, but the fact is that our captain scored 3 goals in 2 matches in the past few days. Ronaldo leads with his example and behavior both on the pitch and outside, and he is a perfect captain.”
