00:00I think the age of a player doesn't come to play. Ronaldo doesn't work as a 39
00:06player, a 39 years old player doesn't play certainly as a 39 years old player.
00:11I think we're assessing every player in how they feel. Cristiano has been working
00:16really well in this in this camp. I've got no doubt that Cristiano after 60
00:21minutes can be involved in the second game. I don't know if he can start or if
00:25he can finish the game but he can certainly be involved as he showed in
00:29the last camp. When you arrive in a stadium, in a place like this, I think
00:34you get to know the iconic figure and the career of a player that is
00:39unique. There is no another player with more than 200 caps at international
00:44level. It's an example the number of goals that he scored, the trophies that
00:48he's achieved. So I think for me it's very easy to manage a player that
00:54he can help the team to win tomorrow. All the rest is something for all of us to
00:58enjoy because it's a unique case and I think we can all learn from being close
01:03to him.
