C. Ronaldo dream of World Cup glory with Portugal

World player of the year, Cristiano Ronaldo is hoping to achieve World Cup success with his national team in Brazil this summer.

The Real Madrid star who head’s to this summer football fiesta with doubt over his fitness has achieved remarkable success in his club career with Manchester United and Real Madrid but has been unable to replicate such success with the Portugal national team.

However, Ronaldo is looking to improve his international fortunes by achieving success in Brazil this summer.

“We aren't favourites but we will try to perform our best as always. We know we have a difficult group stage. In my opinion, we have the strongest group of the World Cup, but we should take it one step at a time.

“We have an important opener against Germany, before we face Ghana and finally the United States. Our goal is obviously to pass the group stage and then we'll see. We arrived in Brazil with hope, but we will also make sure our feet stay firmly on the ground,” Ronaldo told sportlobster.com.

“We have ambition, but with the awareness we have to set ourselves some goals step by step, game by game. We will take it calmly, but also confidently. It fills me with pride, satisfaction, pleasure and honour to represent and captain the Portuguese national team but it is also a big responsibility. I hope I win a title with the national team one day,” he concluded.
