Ronaldo, who leads the Portuguese national team, said in an interview with the British media BBC on the morning of the 31st (Korean time), “I want to continue playing football and have a dream of winning Portugal’s 2022 Qatar World Cup.” Ronaldo emphasized, “No one knows what will happen tomorrow, so rather than paying attention to age, I focus on trying my best at this moment. It is never impossible to lift a World Cup trophy in Qatar.” .

Ronaldo is on the verge of breaking the record for the highest score in an A match. Ronaldo is second in this category with 170 appearances and 102 points in A match. Iran’s Ali Daei (retired) scored 109 goals in first place. Ronaldo is the first to surpass 100 points in an A match in Europe and South America.

Ronaldo led Portugal to win the 2016 European Football Championship, and is expected to break the record of the highest score in A match at the 2020 European Championships postponed to June next year due to the novel coronavirus infection (Corona 19). Ronaldo’s rival Argentina’s Lionel Messi (FC Barcelona) made 138 appearances in A-match and scored 73 goals.

Due to Corona 19, Serie A in Italy and the English Premier League are proceeding without spectators. Ronaldo said, “Playing without a fan is like having no clowns in a circus,” he said. “Because of the Corona 19 quarantine guidelines, it is inevitable to play without spectators, but I hope that the crowd will enter as soon as possible.”
