The five-time Ballon d’Or winner added, “When the time comes, I’ll move on.” His club is Al-Nassr in Saudi Arabia. Choosing will be simple.” Ronaldo indicated he would do something about his old partner Pepe, who quietly retired aged 41 last year if he could no longer help the club.

Ronaldo’s record-setting sixth European Championship, which Portugal lost in the semifinals, earned him criticism for not scoring. Ronaldo remained loyal to his country despite popular pressure. He touted his skills: “I never thought about leaving the national team.”

Ronaldo understood the Portuguese team was under a lot of pressure, but he emphasized that losses are vital for personal and professional progress. “Bad times allow you to evolve,” he remarked, meaning his strength and wisdom may help the team.

Ronaldo also suggested Portugal’s manager, Roberto Martinez, must stay. Portugal will play Scotland in Lisbon on Sunday after their Saturday match against Croatia.

As Ronaldo nears retirement, fans and others watch him. Ronaldo has played football for almost twenty years, therefore his legacy will continue even if he retires. The world may see Ronaldo play longer.
