The row with Manchester United won't affect the Portugal team at the World Cup, according to the star player.
The clubbetrayed him and he had no respect for the manager.
The best time in my life is always when I'm awake.
The Portugal captain made a surprise appearance at a news conference and said that he doesn't have to think about what other people think. I speak whenever I please. The players have known me for a long time and I am a good person.
The group is hungry and focused. The changing room will not be affected by the interview.
The five-time Ballon d'Or winner will be leading Portugal into their game against the West African nation.
If United terminates the forward's contract, he will be free to join another club in the January transfer window.
He hasn't played since he captained United in their defeat at the hands of Villa, but he is in good shape for the World Cup.
"I'm feeling great, I'm recovered, and I'm training well and ready to start the World Cup in the best way possible," saidRonaldo.
The Portugal squad has a lot of potential. We need to focus on the next game because I think we can win. It's focused on getting a win and going from there.
Portugal is the best team in the World Cup according to me. We need to demonstrate it on the field.
