Roberto Martinez issues verdict on 'attitude' of Cristiano Ronaldo Jr after CR7's son makes debut for Portugal's U15s

UEFA Nations League A

Portugal

Spain

<p>Ronaldo Jr, at 14 years of age, has made his international bow at U15 level. He <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/video-like-father-like-son-cristiano-ronaldo-jr-scores-first-ever-portugal-goals-hits-iconic-cr7-siu-celebration-gets-hands-on-silverware/bltbb01e85d6e2f7674#csc251139e2d0f6b54" target="_blank">helped Portugal to ultimate glory at the Vlatko Markovic international tournamen</a>t, with silverware being lifted in Croatia.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Cristiano Ronaldo’s mother attended that event, as her grandson impressed with his quick footwork and eye for goal - two qualities that he has seemingly inherited from his Ballon d’Or-winning father.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>It has been suggested that CR7, who has already passed his 40th birthday, will look to <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/boss-man-utd-cristiano-jr-ronaldo-tipped-very-good-manager-record-breaking-boots-knowledge-next-generation/blt8f69c7b96a4c0b3c" target="_blank">prolong his remarkable playing career in order to one day line up alongside his son</a>. They are both on the books of Saudi Pro League side Al-Nassr at present.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Having seemingly pledged allegiance to Portugal, Ronaldo Jr could one day <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/ronaldo-sets-cristiano-jr-challenge-bid-emulate-nba-legend-lebron-james-playing-alongside-son/blt1c018d7f747a2085" target="_blank">become a team-mate of his famous father</a> at international level. Martinez told <a href="https://www.sporttv.pt/" target="_blank"><em>Sport TV</em></a> of the progress being made by a talented teenager: “It was very nice to see Cristiano Júnior's attitude and that is not easy when the media is watching an under-15 game. We have to give him space.”</p>

WHAT ROBERTO MARTINEZ SAID

<p>Ronaldo Jr is <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/journey-begins-cristiano-ronaldo-son-maiden-portugal-call-up-al-nassr-academy-play-alongside-father/blt1947fee768a18797" target="_blank">eligible to represent five nations</a> - Portugal, the United States, Spain, England and Cape Verde. It remains to be seen what the future holds for him domestically, as his father is seeing a move away from Al-Nassr speculated on as a free agent.</p>
