Cristiano Ronaldo hopes to play for many more years

Approaching his 36th birthday in February, Cristiano Ronaldo has no intention of slowing down.

“I still feel good, sharp and in a good time in my life,” said the Juventus and Portugal star in a video interview. “I hope to play many, many more years, but you never know.”

The forward has yet another season under his contract with Juve, which expires in 2022, but the idea of ​​retiring does not even appear.

“Your one is motivated, it doesn’t matter. Cristiano is good now, “he said. “When I talk to young people I always tell them: ‘Enjoy the moment, because you never know what will happen tomorrow. Something can happen in your life with your family. ‘

It has been tougher than expected for Juventus this season, with the ninth-place Serie A champions unusually down, in sixth place – 10 points behind leaders Milan – although they have 25 games left on the season.

“My eyes see a very, very bright future,” Cristiano said. “I am happy with it.”

Happy also to have won titles with Sporting Lisbon, Manchester United, Real Madrid and Juventus. Having won the Euro with Portugal in 2016, the World Cup is the only major trophy that has eluded him.

“We have to keep our feet on the ground because we won in 2016 and now we want to win the World Cup,” he said. “Everything is possible, but you have to be realistic too.”

“I win titles with all the clubs I have played with,” Cristiano said. “But the World Cup is a dream.”

By then, Cristiano hopes to be playing again in full stadiums, something that pandemic restrictions still prevent in Italy. Next year Portugal will defend its European crown.

“I don’t like to play in stadiums without fans,” he said. “It’s like going to the circus and not seeing the clowns.”
