Cristiano Ronaldowhich contributed this Friday to the classification of Portugal for the 2024 Euro Cup with a double in a 3-2 victory over Slovakia, assured that he is “physically fine” and that he is “enjoying the moment” he is having both with the national team and Al Nasr Saudi
“I’m enjoying the moment, which is good, I feel good, my body is responding to what I have given it in recent years. I am happy both in the national team and in the club. I have scored many goals and I feel good physically” , Cristiano declared to the press after the match in Portugal.
Cristiano Ronaldo, 38, was decisive in Friday’s victory over Slovakia, which secured the Portuguese’s place at the next Euro Cup, and ensured the team he captains had a “very good qualification phase”, with seven victories in seven games.
“On a personal level I am very happy with what I have done. Now we have to continue, we have a few more games and we have to perfect the machine. The team has been very good and with different systems,” he commented. And he added: “Portugal qualified because they played well, they have a good team and a good coach (Spanish Roberto Martínez). It’s not by chance that we qualified.” Now he wants “without injuries or other problems” to “get to the final stage again and play” with the Portuguese team.
Cristiano emphasized that he is now thinking “in the short term”, and that one of the goals he has set is to reach 900 goals, after a conversation this week with the president of Porto, Jorge Nuno Pinto da Costa, who challenged him to reach 1,000. “It’s going to be quite difficult, but it’s about seeing how I am mentally, my motivation. If physically my legs treat me as well as I treat them… We’ll see, they are small stages. Until we reach 1,000, we have to reach 900 first. I think I will achieve it,” he declared.
The former Real Madrid forward, who scored 857 goals in his professional career, “is confident of reaching 900, but 1,000 goals is a lot of stones to break.”
