Cristiano Ronaldo may be 39 years old, but not only is he not thinking about retiring, he also has no plans to step away from the national team. Such an outcome was expected after the European Championship in Germany, but the Portuguese star has stated that he is focused on the upcoming Nations League. Portugal will play against Croatia on September 5th, followed by a match against Scotland four days later. Both games will be played in front of their home fans. And he would like to help.Al-Nassr want to keep Ronaldo to the mutual satisfaction”I have been with the national team for over 20 years. As you know, I am immensely proud to represent our colours, it is a dream. Therefore, when I leave the national team I will not tell anyone beforehand, it will be a very spontaneous decision on my part but also a very well thought out one. Right now what I want is to be able to help the national team in its upcoming matches. We have the Nations League soon and I would really like to play there”, said the Al Nassr star in an interview for “NOW”.🚨🚨JUST IN ; Cristiano Ronaldo🇵🇹 is the first person in History to hit 48+ Million @YouTube subscribers on @YouTube in less than one week RECORD-BREAKER ⏺️🐐 pic.twitter.com/kK00YqmMa8— Olt Sports (@oltsport_) August 27, 2024 Logically, he doesn’t want to finish his club career either. But he finally gave us a clue (sort of) when that might happen.”I don’t know if I’ll retire soon. In two or three years… But, probably, I’ll retire here in Al-Nassr. I am very happy at this club and I feel good in the country. I want to continue in Saudi Arabia” confirmed the Portuguese. I know I don’t have much time left in football, every year after 35 is a giftAs for the after-footballing life, one thing is sure – Ronaldo doesn’t’ plan to follow the footsteps of Xabi Alonso, Carlo Ancelotti or Pep Guardiola. “In my mind, for the moment, the possibility of being a coach of any team is not on the horizon. It doesn’t even cross my mind, I’ve never thought about it. I see myself doing other things outside of football, but only God knows the future” he said. ##NAJAVA_MECA_8298141##
