Ronaldo concentrating on team affairs
Two-goal hero Ronaldo is keeping his focus firmly on helping Brazil retain the World Cup despite levelling Gerd Muller's all-time scoring record in Thursday's 4-1 win over Japan.
The Real Madrid striker scored Brazil's first and fourth goals after the Japanese had taken a surprise lead through Keiji Tamada, with Juninho Pernambucano and Gilberto grabbing the others. His second goal also saw Ronaldo equal Muller's mark of 14 goals in World Cup finals competition, and he will have the chance to beat the record when the champions face Ghana in the second round.
"Goals do give you confidence and it's with goals that you win games," said the 29-year-old. "The record I achieved was great but we are going to keep working hard to achieve the main objective. We are going to study our opponents and rest so that we arrive in top form in the next game."
