Ronaldo admits he is in the dark as to why he has not been in the Real Madrid starting line-up more often this season.
The Brazilian ace missed the start of the new season through injury and he has struggled to make an impact under Fabio Capello.
Ronaldo has yet to start a game or score a goal this term and the 30-year-old cannot understand why he has not been given a chance in the side.
"The worst thing about not playing is not having the confidence of the coach and not knowing how to win it back," Ronaldo told ABC.
"I don't know what the criteria are to win a place in the starting line up. I am in very good shape, with my weight and everything. What I have to do is to try and prove it.
"Capello doesn't have faith with me at the moment. If he did he would have played me more."
Ronaldo also moved to pledge his immediate future to Real revealing he plans to play in America or return to his native Brazil before hanging up his boots.
"I expect to complete my contract here and then to have two years more in Brazil or the United States. I will retire at 35," added Ronaldo.
"I am a fighter and this is the moment to do battle. It is a small problem compared to others.
"I am happy when I play football... and at the moment I am not playing much."
