Cristiano Ronaldo, giving an interview to Italian GQ magazine, talked about his personal and professional life, emphasizing that he still has about two years left at the highest level of football.
The 33-year-old Portuguese, who recently celebrated his birthday, is currently facing major challenges on the football field. The player himself emphasized that he can no longer perform the same actions on the field that he did when he was 20, but he still feels that he has something to offer his team.
"My family life is just amazing, and in terms of my professional life, the last two years have also been incredible. We won titles both with 'Real' and with the national team, but I still believe that I can stay at the top level for the next few years," Ronaldo said.
"An athlete's life is very consistent. I always try to maintain my physical form, as it is very important for a professional. I have always had the same opinion on this matter, as I knew I had to be ready one hundred percent.
I no longer do the same things I did ten years ago. In order to stay at the highest level, you have to change. I simply realized that I can't be on the field the way I was at 20 years old.
You always have to find balance - no matter where, but it must be maintained. Even small details can have a huge impact," the best footballer on the planet spoke about the changes in his game.
C. Ronaldo is not wrong about his changes - the Portuguese has been playing more in a central attacking position than on the wing for the last three years at Real Madrid, where he spent the majority of his career.
