Ronaldo's 40s

Lê Vinh |

Just before his 40th birthday, Cristiano Ronaldo scored his 922nd and 923rd career goals. He is not the oldest player still playing professionally but he certainly has one of the most prolific careers in world football.

In his latest statement, the Portuguese star confidently declared that he is “the most complete player in the world”, and proved it with many details about his goals, versatility, diverse scoring ability as well as adapting to each new position through each stage, experience and success in many top tournaments…

Ronaldo has his reasons, even when placed next to other legends like Pele, Diego Maradona or his biggest rival Lionel Messi, he may not be as loved. Of course, he receives a lot of criticism and criticism - as he has for many years, from Messi fans, but for CR7, that doesn't matter.

One thing is for sure, there is no shortage of respect for Ronaldo, even from a section of Messi fans. And it is certain that, unless something happens, 40 is not the end of Ronaldo's life. 923 goals, too, is not the end.

Before turning 30, Ronaldo scored 463 goals in 13 years (starting his professional career at 17) and since turning 30, he has scored 460 goals in 10 years. With just 3 more goals, Ronaldo will equal the number of goals in "2 halves of his career" and at this rate, he will continue to add his name to the scoreboard.

Ronaldo says he is not interested in the goal of 1,000 goals - he needs 77 more, but it is also difficult to think about. Because like any other successful person, "satisfaction" is not in the dictionary of the player born on February 5 with a boundless desire to conquer...

Each person has their own personality, career path, and life, but it must be said that Ronaldo deserves to be a role model of hard work and talent for other players, future generations of players - including Vietnamese players - to learn from in order to prolong their careers. Unless satisfaction comes too soon...
