JAKARTA - Manchester United player, Cristiano Ronaldo, emphasized his ambition not to rush to decide on retiring. Ronaldo is even more excited to continue to appear, even after the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
The ambition was tucked in the hope he expressed after receiving an award from the Portuguese Football Federation (FPF), Quinas de Ouro.
Ronaldo, who will defend the Portugal national team in the 2022 World Cup at the age of 38, indicated that he did not want to retire. He had the desire to continue to be part of the Portugal national team in the next few years, including at Euro 2024, when he was 40 years old.
"My road to the national team is not over yet, I hope to be a part of this team for a few more years, I feel motivated and my ambitions are still high," Ronaldo said as quoted by The Sun.
"I'm in a team with great young talent, with a great future and I want to be a part of this World Cup and also at the Euros," CR7 continued.
Regarding the award received from the FPF as the top scorer, the Portugal captain said he was proud and never thought he would get that status.
"I am proud to receive an award of this magnitude. I never thought that one day I would be able to achieve it. I thank everyone who is important in my career," said Ronaldo.
Ronaldo won the highest scorer title through hard work while defending the Portugal national team. So far, CR7 has appeared 189 times and scored 117 goals for his country.
