Ronaldo aims for 1,000 total goals
The 39-year-old revealed the high bar he set for himself in an interview with former England star Rio Ferdinand, which he posted to his YouTube channel.
“I want to reach 1,000 goals,” said the Al Nassr and Portugal star.
“If I don’t have any injuries, this for me is the most important [thing], I want that. For me, the best mark that I can have in football is to reach, first, 900 goals. After, my challenge is to be at 1,000 goals.”
Ronaldo only needs one goal to reach 900 goals in his career for club and country.
Although Ronaldo respects the all-scoring legends such as Pele and Alfredo Di Stefano, the star forward quickly pointed out that all his goals are captured on camera.
“All the goals I have scored, they have video,” he said.
“They all have video. Listen, I respect all of them [Pele and Di Stefano]. And if you want more goals, I can bring them from training, too. And I will prove to the people after. They prefer this player, or this is the best one. I don’t care about that.”
“I’m still looking good”
Ronaldo had a chance to talk to Ferdinand, his former Manchester United teammate, about the quality of his play in the Saudi Pro League and his dedication to his craft.
The sit-down interview also discussed the plans of former Real Madrid and Juventus after football.
Although the five-time Ballon d’Or winner has previously discussed his retirement plans in interviews, he remains uncertain about when he will conclude his legendary career.
“I don’t know when I’m going to finish,” he said.
“Since you play more, you learn many, many things. One thing that I’ve learned is, enjoy the moment. Because you don’t know what’s going to happen tomorrow. I know I’m still looking good. The day that I start to feel I don’t produce nothing, listen, I’ll pack my bags and I’ll go away. But it’s far from that.”
