DHAKA: Cristiano Ronaldo declared himself fit to spearhead Portugal's World Cup campaign, but does not feel pressure to reproduce his form at club level.

Ronaldo has suffered from knee and thigh injuries, but said, ‘I’m at 100%. I want to have a great World Cup’.

The 29-year-old dismissed suggestions he must excel in Brazil to cap a career that has not reached the heights on the international stage.

‘I don’t think I have to show anyone anything,’ he said, reports the BBC.

‘If we look at my statistics and resume you'll see that.’

Ronaldo will captain Portugal against Germany in Monday’s opening Group G match in Salvador.

He is their all-time leading scorer but has registered just two goals in 10 World Cup matches, that despite netting 252 in 246 games for Real Madrid.

The forward also has two Champions League titles and twice won the Ballon D’Or.

‘I don’t have to demonstrate anything,’ argued Ronaldo, who recently scored 11 goals in seven internationals, including a hat-trick against Sweden that secured his side’s qualification.

‘Not now or before or after. What I have to do is continue my career which has been great so far.’
