Cristiano Ronaldo is now 39 years old, so it is inevitable that there will be talk of his imminent retirement.
However, he continues to score goals, as he did on Sunday in Portugal’s late win over Scotland.
Ronaldo will turn 40 this season, although he has no plans to end his career anytime soon. Speaking in an interview with Rio Ferdinand (via Diario AS), he explained the current situation.
Cr7 understands Kroos
“When the season ends, I find the enthusiasm again. If I don’t have it, it’s bad. I’m enthusiastic, I’m addicted to football, I score goals and I play at a good level. I think he could play for more years.”
Ronaldo also spoke about the retirement of Toni Kroos, who hung up his boots at the age of 34. He admitted he understood his former Real Madrid teammate’s decision.
“I respect Kroos’ decision because he is the kind of person who will say one thing and do it. We have to respect everyone’s decision, we are not all the same. He had other plans and we have to respect that.”
