After taking charge of Portugal, Martinez was asked at the press conference, will Ronaldo get a call in his time? In the World Cup, Santos let Ronaldo down in the dugout. The star footballer and the coach had a debate about it. There was a lot of controversy. Martinez, however, made it known on day one that his door is always open for Ronaldo. He will not exclude anyone on the basis of age. This time, Martinez has called Ronaldo to the team for the match of the Euro Cup match, the superstar is an important member of his team.
