Piers Morgan has revealed details of his interview with Cristiano Ronaldo. One of the questions he had for the Portuguese player was when the time would come for him to retire. “Do you have an idea of the age at which that might happen?” he said.
“It’s going to be very soon, but I think I’ll be ready. Of course it’s going to be difficult. It’s going to be difficult. Yes, I’m going to cry. Yes, that’s normal. And I’m a person who cries easily. I don’t suppress my feelings. I’m an honest, open person. It’s going to be tough, but I’ve been preparing for my future since I was 25, 26, 27 years old, so I think I can handle it. It was a lot of pressure,” the player said.

Cristiano has been clear about whether he has anything to fill the void left by football. “I don’t think there’s anything. There’s nothing like the adrenaline you feel in soccer when you score a goal. Like I say, everything has a beginning and an end. So I think I’m ready, I think.”

“But I have other passions. I’m going to have more time for myself. I’m trying to have more time for my family and raising my kids, especially Bella, who’s 3 years old. When I travel with the team and stay in hotels for days on end, I miss Bella,” he continued.

Cristiano Jr.’s advice
Another motivation for CR7 when he quits football will be to guide the career of his son Cristiano Jr. Cristiano Junior has just won the Federation Cup with Portugal’s U16 team, his second trophy in the youth sector.
“It’s a kind of impulse. I want to follow Cristiano Jr. because he is at a moment in his life when he does something stupid. I did the same thing, so it’s normal. I want to be with Mateo, who also loves football. I want to be more family-oriented, I want to be more present,” Cristiano said.

In another excerpt of the conversation, already published on Monday, Piers Morgan asked about comparisons with Messi. “They say he’s better than you, what do you think?” he asked. To this, Cristiano answered clearly without hesitation: “Is Messi better than me? I’m not going to be humble.”

wedding plan
The Portuguese also talked about his more personal side, particularly his proposal to Georgina Rodriguez, which he made with the help of his daughters. “I’m not a romantic guy… but I’m a romantic in my own way!” he told Piers Morgan. Although they haven’t decided yet, they also mentioned the possibility of a wedding, saying, “I was still thinking of celebrating with a trophy after the World Cup…” “Do you know where you want to get married?” Piers Morgan asked. “She doesn’t like or like big parties, so we’re not planning any. She likes things intimate, so I respect her decision.”
