Selecao manager Roberto Martinez was full of praise for captain Cristiano Ronaldo after he netted in yesterday\u2019s World Cup qualifying victory against Hungary.<\/p>\n
Cristiano scored again as he earned a penalty for his nation and converted it in his country\u2019s 3-2 win over Hungary. That was the superstar’s 39th goal in World Championship qualifying, as that puts him as the joint-highest scorer ever alongside Guatemala’s Carlos Ruiz. Ronaldo has at the moment 3 more than his biggest competitor, Leo Messi.<\/p>\n
The 40-year-old superstar has 141 goals in 223 matches for his national team, and his performances earned him huge praise from his head coach in Portugal.<\/p>\n
After the victory, Roberto said this about his captain: \u201cCristiano Ronaldo? I don\u2019t 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.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
