Pepe, the oldest player in this Euro, is well placed to talk about the performances of his teammate in the Portugal national team, Cristiano Ronaldo (39 years old). For the 41-year-old defender, the star of the Seleçao will continue to grow in power even if he has not yet scored.
Pepe points out that even though Ronaldo has yet to find the back of the net, his influence on the pitch remains undeniable. “Cristiano lives from his goals, that’s a fact. But have you seen how ready he is to help our national team on the pitch? It’s incredible “, did he declare.
