Ronaldo still scores regularly for Al-Nassr. |
Striker Cristiano Ronaldo is showing incredible form despite being about to turn 40. In the match against Al Wasl, Ronaldo shined with a double to bring a 4-0 victory. This was his 23rd goal in 25 appearances for Al-Nassr this season and the 923rd goal of his career.
Most recently, the 39-year-old superstar affirmed that he is the best player in history in a conversation with El Chiringuito TV. Ronaldo shared: “I think I am a complete player. I can do everything from headers, free kicks, finishing with both feet. People can like Messi, Pele or Maradona. I understand and respect that, but saying that Cristiano Ronaldo is not complete is a lie.”
Ronaldo also confirmed that his relationship with Messi is very good, contrary to rumors of hostility. He said: “I have shared many football awards with him for 15 years. Our relationship has never been bad. I remember translating for him, it was funny. The competition between us is very healthy. He pushes me to try harder.”
Ronaldo says he is surprised by the growth of the Saudi Pro League. The Portuguese superstar claims that the Saudi Pro League is of a higher quality than MLS and that only those who have played there can understand.
Ronaldo also mentioned his goal of scoring 1,000 goals in his career: “I know people still mention this number a lot. I don’t like it very much because they are underestimating what I am achieving now. For me, this number is not the most important thing. No matter how many goals I end my career with, I will still be the best player in history.”
