At 40 years old, Cristiano Ronaldo remains untouchable with Portugal. Still a starter, still decisive, CR7 continues to defy time… and his coach has revealed the secret.
CR7 is 40 years old, except according to science. His body would only be 29 years old. And this is no coincidence. Healthy lifestyle, serious recovery. It’s all there. In the columns of Marca, Roberto Martínez did not hesitate to discuss Cristiano Ronaldo’s incredible longevity: it is neither his physique nor even his talent. It is his attitude.
“In our analysis, there are three pillars: talent, experience, and the attitude that the player can bring to the Seleção. This maximum requirement he imposes on himself to be present and help the team is what allows the captain of the national team to always be on the list of summoned players. This thirst to be the best is transmitted on the field. It is contagious. With 25 goals in 30 matches as a number 9, he proves that his play on the field brings a lot to the national team,” he said. A mentality that justifies his undeniable presence in the group.
CR7 Still Wants to Win, It Keeps Him Going
The numbers speak for themselves: 25 goals in 30 matches for the national team in a number 9 role. At this age, CR7 is not just surviving… he is performing.
Unless there is a turnaround, the Portuguese captain will face his ultimate international challenge at the 2026 World Cup. One last dance, driven by a weapon that does not age: the hunger to win.
