I don’t want to play for other clubs, because it’s the culmination and pinnacle of soccer players.”

The 40-year-old forward, who plays for Al Nasr FC in the Saudi Pro League, reflected on his embarrassment in a speech after winning the Prestigio de Oro.
“There are some trophies in the house, and I have to say that they are special and beautiful. Well, what should I say? I think they’re all said. I have to confess. This afternoon I was sitting at the table thinking what I would say in this speech. I was thinking, ‘What is the Prestige Award?’ I wondered if it was the award that would be awarded at the end of my career. I was a little nervous and thought, ‘It’s not possible.’ So I looked into some of them. I was confused (if you’re the one who’s the one who’s the one who’s the one who’s the one who’s the one who’s the one who’s the one who’s the one who’s the one who’s the one who’s the one who’s the one who’s the one who’s the one who’s the one who’s the one who’s the one who’s the one who’s the one who’s the one who’s the one who’s the one who’s the one who’s the one who’s the one who’s the one who’s the one who’s the one who’s the one who’s the one who’s the one who’s the one who’s the one who’s the one who’s the one who’s the one who’s the one who’s the one who’s the one who’s the one who’s the one who’s the one who’s the one who’s the one who’s the one who’s the one who’s the one who’s the one who’s the one who’s the one who’s the one who’s the one who’s the one who’s the one who’s the one who’s the one who’s the one who’s the one who’s the one who’s the one who’s the one who’s the one who’s the one who’s the one who’s the one who’s the one who’s the one who’s the one who’s the one who’s the one who’s the one who’s the one who’s the one who’s the one who’s the one who’s the one (I don’t know, so look it up) It helped a bit. But seriously, this trophy is a great pride for me. I don’t think this is the end of my career, but I think it’s a continuation of what I’ve done so far, a whole career. I’ve been with the national team for 22 years. I think it speaks to the passion I feel about wearing a jersey, winning a trophy, playing for the national team. I often say, “I want to play on the national team if I can.” I wouldn’t play because it was the culmination and pinnacle of soccer players. “That’s why I’m still here,” said the former player who played for Real Madrid from 2009 to 2018.
To be honest, I’d like to continue playing for a few more years.
“I know you’re tired of seeing me here and in the ceremonies, but I think I can still give a lot to the national team and football. To be honest, I want to continue playing for a few more years. I want to thank all of my teammates and the younger generations for learning. It’s an honor to be with you. Our goal is to win the next two games and compete in the World Cup. The World Cup is coming soon. We have to think about it.” It’s exclusively about the present, but we look forward to the future. That would be a dream. But one step at a time,” said Cristiano Ronaldo, who has 223 caps for Portugal.
Cristiano Ronaldo: “I know I haven’t had many years left.”
Cristiano emphasized that Globo Prestigio “is not a career-ending award. I consider it to be a recognition of years of hard work, dedication and ambition. I love winning, helping a new generation. They also help me stay at my level and continue to compete. That’s what excites me: to compete with young people. I still feel passionate about this.”
“People, especially my family, tell me, ‘It’s time to stop. You’ve done everything. Why do you want to score 1,000 goals?’ But I don’t think so. I think I’m still doing good, I’m helping the club and national team, why not continue? When it’s finished, I’m sure I’ll have a fulfillment to put all my energy into it. I know I don’t have long years left, but I try to make the most of the fewer years left,” he said.
