Ronaldo talks about the idea of retiring after the World Cup
Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo said that he is not thinking about retiring from football in the December World Cup finals in Qatar, and plans to play in the European Nations Championship 2024. The 37-year-old added, in an event after being honored by the Portuguese Football Federation for his goal-scoring achievements. I'm still excited.. I'm in a national team with a lot of guys. I want to be in the World Cup and in the European Championship. I want to make that commitment now.”
Ronaldo had already refused earlier this year to talk about retiring when asked if the World Cup in Qatar would be his last. The "Don" suffers with Manchester United, and was not an undisputed key player with the English club. Ronaldo enters the World Cup finals holding the men's record of 117 international goals.
Ronaldo is preparing with Portugal for the Nations League matches in the Czech Republic on Saturday, and against Spain at home three days later. Portugal, winners of the inaugural Nations League in 2019, are one point behind Spain in their last two matches.
