Cristiano Ronaldo has said that he plans to retire from football at the age of 40.
He also admitted that “Qatar 2022” will be the last World Cup for him.
“I want to play two more years, three more years. So two or three years at most. I want to finish my career at the age of 40. I think it will be a good age,” Ronaldo said in his interview with Piers Morgan.
“But I don’t know, I don’t know the future. Sometimes you plan one thing for your life and as I have said many times, life is dynamic. And you never know what will happen,” added the Portuguese.
“It’s hard to say now because my mood is now towards the World Cup. It’s probably my last World Cup, of course, my fifth World Cup. I don’t know what will happen after the World Cup, but as I told you before and I will say it again, the fans will always be in my heart”, continued the 37-year-old.
Ronaldo was optimistic about Portugal’s chances of winning the tournament.
“I am very optimistic. We have a fantastic coach, we have a good generation of footballers. I’m looking forward to us going to a great World Cup… [It’s going to be] tough. Extremely difficult. But everything is possible. But, of course, we will compete”, declared the five-time winner of the “Golden Ball”.
