THE Cristiano Ronaldo has now reached 908 career goals and marches full speed towards 1000, wanting to break a “barrier” that in other times would have seemed unthinkable.
Just before she put on her jersey Portugal for the Nations League‘CR7’ was awarded by the country’s federation with the ‘Quinas de Platina’, an award given to athletes with great contributions to the Iberian country’s footballing heritage.
In fact, after receiving the trophy, Mr Ronaldo he emphasized that he is satisfied even if he does not reach the 1000 goalsknowing that he is already the top scorer in the world. At the same time, he expressed his love for the national team, commenting that there is no greater honor than representing his country.
In detail what he said:
For his goals from now on: “I can’t wait to see what my legs have in store for me in the coming years. It would be great to reach 1000 goals, but if not, I’m already the top scorer in the world. I’ve played for many clubs, won many trophies, but nothing beats playing for the national team, celebrating your country and culture.”
For the Portuguese national team: “I always tell my teammates that. All the trophies I have won, including the Champions League and the Ballon d’Or, none of them are more important than playing for the national team and representing this country.
That’s why it saddens me when some players don’t want to represent their country, a small country, but we have to remember that we have everything, the infrastructure, the stadiums, the great coaches, the players. We will be great, I believe that Portugal will be successful not only in football, but also in other sports.”
