Cristiano Ronaldo on records, criticism and Portugal’s team effort

Playing for the cameras, I'm back, I'm back.

Just so you don't forget. This is Cristiano.

Just so you don't forget. It's the best response he can give to the critics.

Always, 23 years like this. The name of Cristiano Ronaldo and history go hand in hand, it has been like this for the last 20 years.

After these goals, he becomes the only player with six goals in six editions of the World Cup.

He becomes Portugal's top scorer in World Cups.

What does this mean to you? Very happy, but for me the most important thing is the work the team did, the confidence we had.

We push ourselves hard during the week, we knew that would happen, but the team worked very well.

We improved a lot. Every cloud has a silver lining, as they say.

Obviously, speaking of myself, records are always nice to break, but my goal is to be able to help the national team achieve its goals.

At this stage, it was to get through. I think with four points we're already through, and I'm very happy.

And now that the ketchup has opened, will it keep flowing for Cristiano?

I knew it, God helps those who work. I knew my teammates would help me too.

It was a difficult week, a dark week.

It seemed like I was already retired from football, but I held on, as I always do, because I believe in work more than anything else.

It was difficult, I must confess, but we are back.
