Speaking at the Globe Soccer Awards in Dubai, where he was named the Middle East’s best player, Ronaldo said: “It’s demanding to keep playing, but I still have the passion and the motivation to keep going. It doesn’t matter if I do it in the Middle East or Europe: I want to keep winning titles and I want to reach the milestone that everyone knows.” By this he meant the 1,000-goal mark, which he is still 44 goals away from reaching.
“I’m confident I can do it if I don’t get hurt,” CR7 said.
