The word 'retreat' is not part of Cristiano Ronaldo's vocabulary who always feels the best and says he still has a lot of fun. Thirty-six, Ronaldo is still thinking about playing because - he says - "I still enjoy a lot.
Playing, keeping fit, always being at high levels is what I like but the secret of everything is having fun. I do what I love, I'm lucky and I'm really happy ". It remains to be seen whether he will continue to do so in Juventus, meanwhile with five golden balls on the bulletin board, as many Champions League, CR7 is the soul of reigning European champion Portugal. Yet, in the final against France, CR7 due to a killer fallom ', he played a few minutes, forced to go out with an injury.
Considered, together with Messi, the most decisive player of the last decade, Cristiano Ronaldo never ceases to amaze and, above all, he is never satiated, chasing record after record with the enthusiasm and dedication of the early days. With Portugal's red-green mallet he has so far scored 103 goals.
Prototype of the modern attacker, CR7 is an imaginative, agile, powerful, fast player. If fit, marking it becomes virtually impossible. He knows how to play for the team and is gifted with a precise and poisonous shot, and also with an elevation that has drawn comparisons with the basketball god Michael Jordan.
If it is true that a player does not make a team, CR7 is the exception. If Pele 'and Maradona were football, if Crujff changed it, if Messi is considered by all to be the quintessence of the most beautiful game in the world, the only one able to compete with those' myths' in recent years also C. Ronaldo has recovered everything: glory, records, adjectives and hosannas from the four corners of the world. Although there will always be those - beyond the crazy numbers and figures - who prefer Messi because of his haughty and arrogant character, who always demands the ball at his feet and who gets angry when his teammates make a mistake. But it is also the one who invites Chantal Borgonovo to the final of the European Championship in Paris, the one who gives herself to the invading fan for a selfieprotecting him from the spirited stewards, the one who in the most heated challenges always shows his muscles trying to encourage the most fearful companions, and the one who has no tattoos because, for many years, he has been a blood donor.
At Euro 2020 Cristiano Ronaldo will try to repeat himself with his Portugal (a feat that was only successful in Spain), chasing yet another trophy to put on the bulletin board and setting another goal to reach. "I want to keep winning, but he is realizing that there is a life after football and I have to be ready, to overcome obstacles and do things that I don't know how to do. it's something I want to prepare myself for, "he said long ago. We will see, and Juventus and Massimiliano Allegri are waiting to know.
