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
