Roberto Martinez has spoken highly of Cristiano Ronaldo and his unquenchable passion for football.

Ronaldo who finished as the second top scorer of the Euro 2024 qualifiers continues to reverberate his excellence in the round leather game.

Cristiano Ronaldo scored 10 goals and provided 2 assists in 9 matches during the qualification for the tournament which will be held in Germany in 2024.

Ronaldo's mentality has been likened to that of an 18-year-old, as manager Martinez says the Portuguese is always hungry for success.

Speaking on the passion of Cristiano Ronaldo, Roberto Martinez said: “Cristiano is as hungry as an 18-year-old player. He is a role model, he always tries to be in the right position and is looking for the goal.”

Recall in the previous week, Erling Haaland called Ronaldo his inspiration, due to the monstrous heights the Portuguese has attained.

Haaland spoke about the 38-year-old's devilishness in front of goal, tucking away chances with massive aplomb and scoring match-winning goals.

2022 wasn't the best of years for Cristiano Ronaldo, as he had a turbulent year with Manchester United, alongside losing one of his children to the cold hands of death.

However, Ronaldo has bounced back in some style, helping his club, Al Nassr, and nation, Portugal immeasurably.

At 38, Cristiano Ronaldo has scored 46 goals in 2023, and this output for 2023 is only bettered by Erling Haaland.

Ronaldo's dedication, talent, and hard work have seen him reach excellent heights, with the Portuguese enjoying a stellar footballing career.

The former Juventus forward is the highest goalscorer in football history and has won several trophies and individual awards.

Cristiano Ronaldo has scored 731 goals and provided 234 assists in 985 club appearances in all competitions.

Ronaldo led Portugal to the European Championships in 2016 and also led the nation to win the maiden edition of the UEFA Nations League in 2019.

Internationally, Cristiano Ronaldo also leads the way in terms of goals, with 128 goals and 46 assists in 205 appearances.

The 38-year-old is currently topping the goalscoring chart for the Saudi Pro League, with 13 goals and 7 assists in 12 matches.

Ronaldo doesn't look like he is aging whatsoever as he scores cracking goals and does monstrous things with the ball.

Yes! You can admit there is a slight drop in terms of what he does with the ball due to aging but still, his passion continues to keep him at the top.

Cristiano Ronaldo has played for the biggest clubs in Europe, including; Manchester United, Juventus, Real Madrid and Sporting Lisbon.

He has won 7 league titles, 5 UEFA Champions League, and 1 UEFA European Championship.

Individually, Ronaldo has won many awards, including; 5 Ballon d'Or titles, 2 The Best FIFA Men's Player of the Year, and 4 European Golden Shoe.
