Ronaldo Rules Out Immediate Retirement Plans

Ronaldo Rules Out Immediate Retirement Plans

Cristiano Ronaldo has assured Juventus fans and his fans worldwide that he is not ready to retire from football at age 34.

The former Real Madrid and Manchester United superstar recently scored his 700th career goal in Portugal’s 2-1 defeat to Ukraine in the EURO 2020 qualifiers.

The Portuguese is in his second season with Juventus following his shock move from the Spanish capital last summer.

"Age is just a number. It does not mean that at 34, 35, 36, you are at the end of your career," Ronaldo said at a news conference ahead of Juventus' Champions League match against Lokomotiv Moscow on Tuesday.

"I can show that with my performances, how I play, the way I play, the way I still feel good, sharp, thinking about the game, more mature. This makes the difference."

The 34-year-old has been nominated for the 2019 Ballon d’Or award and he is one of the favourites to win the Golden ball alongside his long-term rival Lionel Messi and Liverpool’s Virgil Van Dijk.

The Portuguese is therefore on course to win a record sixth Ballon d’or award but he is more intent on winning collective honours with Juventus.

“We want to win Serie A. We want to win the Cup, the Champions League.”

“Juventus should think big. We are going to try to win all the trophies, we know it will be difficult, especially the League and the Champions League. But I think it is possible, everything is possible.”

"In terms of individual [honours], I have nothing to say as this [Ballon d’or] is individual. It is not the most important thing. The most important is the collective awards”.

“If you win them, you have more chances to win the individual awards. The Ballon d’Or is for me in second place.”
