After turning 40, he still has to play for two more years. Where is Ronaldo s limit?

"My family said I should stop, but I can still help the team, why not continue?" - Cristiano Ronaldo

In the European group stage of the World Cup preliminaries, Portugal drew with Hungary at home. Cristiano Ronaldo scored twice, exclusively enjoying the honor of the top scorer in the World Cup preliminaries. Not long ago, at the Portuguese Globe Awards Ceremony, Ronaldo won the Global Prestige Award, and his legendary club and national team career was once again affirmed.

Faced with reporters' questions about when to retire, Cristiano Ronaldo believed that the Global Prestige Award was not a signal that he was about to end his green career. He would still continue to fight while he could still play. The coming year is very important for Ronaldo. He must not only help the Portuguese national team strive for good results on the World Cup stage, but also do his best for Riyadh's victory in the league and the AFC Champions League.

Judging from Ronaldo's performance in the Saudi League and World Cup preliminaries, the 40-year-old veteran still has the ability to decide the game. Although he no longer pays attention to the thousand-goal goal (still 60 goals away), the Portuguese does not lack motivation to move forward. From missing a penalty kick in the last round of World Cup qualifying to scoring twice in this game, this "gap" may be a warning. When facing high-intensity competitions such as the AFC Champions League knockout rounds or the World Cup knockout rounds in the future, Ronaldo may consider accepting rotations to ensure his status in key games.
