"I'm ready to let go."
Cristiano Ronaldo, often hailed as one of the greatest names in football history, has announced that he is nearing the end of his career. Speaking to Piers Morgan, the Portuguese star confessed, 'I'll be hanging up my boots soon. I feel ready, but I'll probably be unable to hold back the tears when that day comes.'
At 39, Ronaldo revealed that his decision to bid farewell to professional football stems from a personal need, stating, 'I've been contemplating my future since I was 25. Now, I want to devote more time to myself, my family, and my daughter Bella.'
Ronaldo expressed his desire to spend more quality time with his family.
While reflecting on the emotions that football brings to him, Ronaldo stated, 'The adrenaline rush from football is unparalleled, nothing can replace it. However, everything has a beginning and an end,' thereby expressing his mature acceptance of nearing the end of his career.
The star player further revealed that being away from home for extended periods now stirs unease within him. He expressed a desire to closely monitor the growth of his son, Cristiano Jr., and to spend more time with his family.
Ronaldo also made bold statements regarding Messi and the World Cup.
Portuguese legend Cristiano Ronaldo touched on the World Cup in an interview, stating, 'The World Cup is not a dream for me. Does winning a six or seven match tournament make you one of the best in history? I don't think so. Numbers don't lie; if you look at the records in football, Cristiano is at the top.' These words were interpreted as a powerful reference to the star footballer's legacy, which he defines with statistics.
