The real reason why I cried in Euro 24

we need to do that again sorry you 24 and listen I couldn't come and speak to you if asking you like now you've had time to reflect when you was in that in that tournament and you were crying um what was that like because you got some people saying ah why is he crying is he ego is this is that what what what is the reasons behind it and how do you feel now about looking back it's much more easy to Gree size that appreciate what what you really have you know we knows the press

all works if you speak good don't sell we have to speak bad is normal and if you speak about Cristiano you're coming in the first page it's normal because I'm the most follow guy in the world it's not because only because of my pretty face but in everything you know why Christian is the number one follow in the world why what do you think many things there's goals football trophies trophies family way lifestyle everything because people say why they fall because they in some way they like me you understand I think and they criticize all

is going to exist and it's part of the business for me this is is not a problem your question was in why you crying why you cry for example I speak last night about that when you have passion for what you're doing you cannot be worried about how your feelings if for example I cried the day that I missed the penalty which is I believe that Oak did a fantastic save okay but let's interpret it that I missed the penalty when I cry it's not because I cry because I felt that if I don't score

that penalty and if Portugal will be eliminated the GNA world will collapse on me not because of that real no it's people they don't know they don't know me it's imagine that the last 27 penalties you score you miss in that period you feel like bad from yourself you don't even thinking about that the people who come to the stadium your kids your mom your girlfriend everyone I felt sad because of that you think I'm will thinking I missed the penalty but Portugal going to falling down on me they're going to say that we failed

because Christiano missed the I didn't even think about that I swear to God I felt because I make pressure to myself you know me since with 11 years old I always make pressure to me Cristiano you are the best player in the world in my mind I'm always thinking in that way and I put a lot of pressure to myself you have good sides when the things go good okay but when the things go wrong you feel that too because you make too much pressure to me I make pressure to me but I love that

I know to deal with that but when I miss the penalty i f but with myself the fans the family not because other stuff that people say that I it's not that it's not I saw you looking into the crowd was it like your mom or your kids exactly cuz I know what that gets me emotional in the World Cup I cried during National Anthem home my mom screaming and it all came like this moment what a moment and I CRI special moments is emotional Pro moments when you saw your mom that exactly you have

to express yourself you cannot hide in this kind of stuff for me if you're iding you you you lie to yourself you have to be yourself doesn't matter if you people like or not you think I'm going to change now our Christian self is always I'm going to change now you think with nearly 40 years old I'm going to change of course no oh you like me or you don't like me it's part of the life for me is not a problem in the national team it was like that I people say ah he's done

he's 39 he's getting old you know why because I didn't score the a goal yeah and and the rest and the past when in qualifiers you scored like 10 goals 10 goals in 2 and before the Euros I scored two goals against Ireland but this is part real even even if I will score in Euros not we will change what Cristiano are you people try to to hide and stuff and speak bad listen I don't score no problem tomorrow I will play against the national team and I will try to score if I don't don't

score next game I will try to score if I will be like that does that affect you though so it doesn't affect you if you don't score goals are you the same person around a training to score goals for me it doesn't matter yeah to play against FRS and to play against etif fak for me it doesn't matter don't change nothing but if you don't score what are you like though what are you like to be around are you are you rud vistro remember when he didn't score he was a night we could win 3-0

he didn't score he's sitting like this yeah are you I have one thing that I learned real it's you can be upset in the moments after the game if we win it's always better but if you win if I score I will be a little bit more happy I have to be honest I'm not going to be like that no or if you lost in the game you have to show during this period or during that you are pissed it's part of but next day I'm very capable and I learn that listen Cristiano let's go

life continue pass is past he never come again the present it's the best gift that we have in our life the present because you know you don't know that what's going to happen tomorrow you don't know true I don't know he don't know so leave the present how soon is that game or that moment gone then so you finished the game in a change your mind I can imagine you being we done sh was you was I was and how soon is that game then gone for the next game some some some games and some

moments you're getting a little bit more upset for example after the heroes to eliminate penalties against friends take two days because it's a special moment pressure but that's it listen third day go back to the gym work because you have more to show you understand life continue you cannot live in a past I'm really good on that you understand I learn by the hears that listen Christian let's go because pain you're going to have all the time uncertainty and constant work constant work constant work doesn't matter What's happen it's going to happen in your life

you have to continue this is the way I see the life and football especially so the performances of Portugal in the tournament in Euros 24 like what's your thoughts on that now you've had a bit of time to reflect because I had you as one of the four five favorites to win R when you lost the penalties it's this year this year I I lost three competitions by penalties wow who who who who going to tell me that this will win three trophies can be a signal you never know this is football you know football

as much as I know that's it's like that football is like that you lost the penal but the game before we win the penalties M so this is up and so for me I can say that was average uh tournament but if we win the penalties you will play semi-final against Spain semi-final okay people will understand much better they was eliminated for Spain or not you never know semi-finals was like the limit but in my opinion we lost penalties against France which is we control the game we had the best uh chances it's football it's

difficult because nobody like to L but in my in my point of view Portugal D average we always can do it better but it's a lesson for the future in my opinion e
