MARTINEZ on his first ever meeting with Cristiano Ronaldo:
"I never liked making call-ups without knowing the person behind the footballer. I tried to get to know all the players who were in the World Cup call-up and, when I met Cristiano Ronaldo, I found a player willing to give everything for the national team. I saw a person who wanted to be committed and at the service of the team. A player like Cristiano, who won everything, surprised me with his humility and desire to serve the team. That was the starting point for all the players in the dressing room.”
