‘He will fight for it’ - Roberto Martinez backs Cristiano Ronaldo for 2030 World Cup bid as 41-year-old GOAT still has ‘hunger’ to succeed

Speaking to El Larguero, Martinez said: "We've come to a conclusion: I believe Cristiano Ronaldo doesn't play to win a specific title, either collectively or individually. His secret isn't what he eats, it's his hunger. Whatever he wins, the next day he has the same hunger to improve. I think having that objective allows for longevity. I've worked with many, many players who, the day after winning a UEFA Champions League or a Ballon d'Or, don't have the same hunger."
