Cristiano Ronaldo is unfazed by the drama created by his explosive pre-World Cup interview on British TV and maintained Monday the atmosphere in Portugal's squad was 'excellent' heading into the tournament.

Portugal's forward Cristiano Ronaldo, right, takes part in a training session as coach Fernando Santos looks on at Shahaniya Sports Club in Al Samriya, northwest of Doha on Nov. 20, 2022 during the Qatar 2022 World Cup. Cristiano Ronaldo is unfazed by the drama created by his explosive pre-World Cup interview on British TV and maintained Monday the atmosphere in Portugal's squad was "excellent" heading into the tournament.

"The timing for me is my timing," Ronaldo said. "I don't have to worry about what others think. I am totally convinced this won't have any influence on the national team. Manchester United is weighing up how to deal with Ronaldo in the wake of an interview the club didn't sanction, which contained criticism of the attitude of some of his teammates.

"Everything around Cristiano is always a reason for debate and talks," Ronaldo added. "We see it on the TV news. It's normal. I understand it. But I will repeat once again: the environment at the national team is excellent."
