Portugal’s Ronaldo aims to end 15-month goal drought
June 13th, 2010 - 11:52 pm ICT by IANSMagaliesburg (South Africa), June 13 (DPA) Cristiano Ronaldo has said he is not concerned by his failure to score for his country in 15 months of international football.
Ronaldo scored 26 league goals in 29 starts for Real Madrid last season and he assured Portugal fans Sunday that he would find his form for the national team in time for the World Cup.
“Goals do not worry me at all. I am very calm. Goals are like ketchup once one appears they all come together,” Ronaldo said.
“I am not going to say that I will be the best player of the tournament or the top scorer but I will be giving everything for us to go as far as possible.”
Portugal play the Ivory Coast Tuesday in Port Elizabeth, South Africa while Brazil face North Korea in Johannesburg on the same day in Group G.
