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 last night'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 in the 34th minute for the Zico-coached team.
But a header from Ronaldo on the stroke of half-time followed by second-half goals from Juninho Pernambucano and Gilberto before the former Barcelona and Inter Milan man's second nine minutes from time saw Brazil finish on top of Group F with a 100 per cent record.
Brazil's fourth 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.'
