Ronaldo celebrated in style after the triumph in Sweden but insists his celebrations were not aimed at FIFA president Sepp Blatter following recent comments he made about the Real star. Blatter was swift to congratulate Paulo Bento's team and Ronaldo via Twitter within minutes of their qualification for Brazil.
"I don't have to respond to anyone, my answers are given on the pitch," Ronaldo said.
He also insists he is not focused on recapturing the accolade he won in 2008, adding: "I do not live my life obsessed with titles and do not have to show anything to anyone, because I have shown my worth, I've done 40/50 goals every season and it is not within the reach of anyone. I know what I am."
