Ronaldo explains how he prepares for the challenge of Inter after the defeat Lyon.
Cristiano Ronaldo tells us about his focus on winning, his motivation and his records.
THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE IS NOT EASY
When speaking about the loss to Lyon, Ronaldo had the following to say:
"This can happen, this is football. We are not happy about the game, it’s normal. But this can happen, the games in the Champions League are all difficult, we are disappointed, but we have the second leg at home. We are very confident that we can change the result and go to the next round, but our priority right now is to win the upcoming games and the Champions League will come. We are relaxed, we are focused, and we are prepared for the next games.
"The Champions League is the hardest competition in football. All the teams are difficult. There are no more easy games but as I said before, we have the second game at home. We are disappointed about the first result, but I am looking forward to the second leg and I am very confident that we can go through."
FOCUS ON JUVE-INTER
"It’s a big game, it’s a derby. It’s like Barcelona vs Real Madrid, who also play on Sunday. It’s great to play against Inter. These are the games that the players like to play in. And against Inter it will be a good game where we play against a fantastic team and a fantastic coach. We are not happy about the fact that our fans will not be with us, but our responsibility is still the same. We have win, we are at home and I hope that we will have a great result."
CR…RECORD
"The records come. I have many records. It comes in a natural way. To be honest, I am not worried about that. I have records better than this one but if I do it, I will be happy. But this is not my priority. My priority is to play well, to win games, to be together with my teammates and together we have a big chance to win the game.
"It’s a good achievement. 1000 games mean dedication, hard work and talent pays off. It’s not easy to play in 1000 games at 35 years old. So, I’m happy, it will be nice. But I hope to play hundreds of more games so it’s a good number but as I said before, the most important thing is to win the game and to be at the top of the league."
