Portuguese footballer Cristiano Ronaldo has said he may not reach his goal of 1.000 goals and can no longer think long-term about his career.
"Now I see my life as living in the moment. I can no longer look at the long term. I said publicly that I want to reach 1.000 goals, now everything seems easy, I scored 900 last month. It's about living in the moment , I have to see how my legs will respond to the efforts in the next few years," Ronaldo said, the website Gol reported today.
The Al Nasra footballer received a prestigious domestic award last night in Portugal, recognizing him as an outstanding ambassador of his country, after playing more than 200 games for the national team.
"If I reach 1.000 goals, that's good, but if not, I'm already the player with the most goals in history," added Ronaldo, who played 216 games for the national team and scored 133 goals.
With 908 goals, he is the best scorer in football history.
The president of the Portuguese Football Federation, Fernando Gomes, said that Ronaldo deserves the Platinum Quinas award without any doubt.
"It is the most prestigious trophy and if there is an ambassador of Portugal who deserves it, it is Cristiano Ronaldo. He has served the national team for more than 20 years. If anyone has shown love representing the Portuguese team, it is Cristiano Ronaldo. An outstanding ambassador who feels the jersey and feels Portugal ", he stated.
