Portugal captain Cristiano Ronaldo sent a motivational message to fans and teams ahead of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers. Roberto Martinez's players are preparing for important matches against Ireland on October 11th and Hungary on October 14th.
"Let's focus on the task ahead," Ronaldo said curtly but decisively on social media. The captain's call means the team's attention is focused on the plan on the field, far from panic.
In the first two qualifying matches, Cristiano scored three goals and improved the national team's performance. With these victories, Portugal leads Group F with 6 points. In the current situation, every point is a valuable step towards the World Cup.
Martinez's team relies on balance and game discipline, while Ronaldo maintains leadership both on and off the field. If the away match against Ireland is expected to be tough, then nothing will be easier against Hungary - the opponents are known for their compact defense and quick transitions.
In short: Portugal aims to continue the successful start, while Ronaldo aims to further unite the team spirit. The two fields ahead are a big test. Everything depends on the effort, attention, and unity.
