Cristiano Ronaldo wasn't as good as he is now when he was sold
Cristiano Ronaldo has played down his latest record, claiming landmarks come naturally to him.
Ronaldo scored twice in Portugal's 5-1 friendly win over Cameroon on Wednesday to become his country's all-time top international goalscorer with 49 goals in 110 senior appearances.
His tally surpassed the previous mark set by former Paris Saint Germain forward Pauleta, who scored 47 times in his 88 caps.
But Portugal captain Ronaldo claimed he was always confident the record would be his since of the work he puts in and the team he has around him.
"I do not look to beat records," Ronaldo told national broadcaster RTP after the game. "This happens naturally, with a lot of effort, dedication, with the excellent national team we have, a good instructor. I knew that sooner or later it was going to happen.".
Ronaldo also equalled former Porto and Lazio defender Fernando Couto's mark of 110 international appearances in the game but trails winger Luis Figo's record of 127 senior caps for Portugal.
Portugal's other goals on the night came from Raul Meireles, Fabio Coentrao and Edinho, with Vincent Aboubakar replying for the visitors.
