Cristiano Ronaldo, the iconic football superstar, has opened up about his future plans, revealing that he might hang up his boots at Saudi Arabia's Al Nassr ⚽️🏟️. But don't worry, CR7 fans — he's still eager to represent Portugal on the international stage! 🇵🇹
In an exclusive chat with Portuguese channel NOW, the 39-year-old legend shared, \"I don't know if I will retire soon, in two or three years, but probably I will retire here at Al Nassr. I'm very happy at this club, I feel good in this country, too. I'm happy to play in Saudi Arabia and I want to continue.\"
Despite pondering retirement from club football, Ronaldo isn't ready to step away from the national team just yet. \"Right now, what I want is to be able to help the national team in their upcoming matches,\" he said. \"We have the Nations League ahead of us and I would really like to play.\" 🇵🇹🔥
As for stepping into the coaching arena like some of his peers? Not on his radar! \"At the moment, I'm not thinking about being a coach of the first team or any team,\" Ronaldo admitted. \"It doesn't even cross my mind, I've never thought about it. I don't see my future going through that. I see myself doing other things outside of football, but only God knows what the future holds.\" 🙏🌟
On the pitch, Ronaldo continues to dazzle. Al Nassr clinched a 4-1 victory over Al Fayha at Al Majma'ah Sports City on Tuesday. Ronaldo set up Talisca for the opener in the 5th minute and then smashed a trademark free kick in stoppage time to make it 2-0! 🎯💥
The action didn't stop there! Marcelo Brozovic netted the third goal in the 85th minute. Although Al Fayha's Fashon Sakala pulled one back, Talisca sealed the deal with his second goal in the 95th minute. What a game! 🥳🏆
For all the young football enthusiasts out there, Ronaldo's journey is a testament to passion and dedication. Whether he's scoring goals or inspiring millions, he's not slowing down anytime soon! 💪🔥
