Cristiano Ronaldo will turn 36 on February 5, but the football retirement It is not even remotely in the thoughts of the Portuguese champion, who in an interview with DAZN assured that he will play in the coming years, to the delight of Juventus fans. The numbers are on his side: this season he achieved 14 goals in 11 games, and in total in the black and white jersey it counts 79 goals in 100 appearances, an extraordinary loot.
“Age? At 33 you start to think that you are going downhill but I want to keep playing football. People might think: “Cristiano was an incredible player but now it’s slow“. I don’t want this to happen. You can take care of your body but that is not the problem. It depends on your head, based on your motivation and experience. Federer, for example, is 39 years old and continue at the top ”, are the words of the five times Golden Ball.
CR7 confessed to prefer the boxing or the UFC football on television: “Playing football is my passion, but then I watch other sports on television. Between a soccer game or a boxing match or UFC, I choose the second option. I don’t think he could have been a boxer, it’s tough. I think I was born to be a professional footballer, I thought I had that gift from the beginning and I told myself that I would take this opportunity with my own hands. Boxing is more difficult because when you compete you are alone. You work in the gym, you have your equipment, but then they don’t get in the ring with you. In our case it is different because we train together, we laugh, it is a different sacrifice ”.
“When I was at Manchester United a coach boxed with me,” he revealed. I think practicing it can be good for a footballer because it sharpens the senses and learns to move. Golovkin and I grew up in different backgrounds and cultures. It was tough because we come from humble families, we weren’t rich, so you had to fight for your life. The circumstances in which you grow up harden your personality and your character ”.
About its origins: “I was born on the island of Madeira and at the age of 11 Sporting went to talk to my parents. They told them they were interested but that I should have moved to Lisbon. When I spoke with them my mother told me: “Son, if that’s the case and you want to, go away.” I cried every day because I missed them. This was my most difficult moment, as was the loss of my father. I think it is good to have emotions, they do not hide who we are. Who said that men don’t cry? We all have feelings and we must express them ”.
