Recently, former Manchester United striker Berbatov talked about Ronaldo in an interview with The Globe. Although the two only played for Manchester United in the 2008/2009 season, this experience left a deep impression on Berbatov.
Speaking of Ronaldo's current winning football in Riyadh, Berbatov recalled an interview when Ronaldo returned to Manchester United three years ago: "At that time, I thought Ronaldo could play for another three to four years. In fact, Ronaldo is still fighting on the court."
"If you want to predict how long Ronaldo can play, I think the key lies in Ronaldo's professionalism, discipline and stability all the time. These factors not only make him a great player, but also the secret to his career lasting for 20 or even 30 years. . "
"C Ronaldo may want to break the record of the oldest player in Europe, or a similar goal. However, calling Ronaldo a "veteran" is not appropriate. The physical condition, movement, goal ability and motivation he showed on the court, as well as the determination and desire to continue the game, all show that he is still full of vitality. "
"In addition, seeing more and more stars join the Saudi league is also an incentive for Ronaldo. He may think: I am the first to come here , now everyone else is following. So Ronaldo feels that he has a responsibility to help this league grow. Of course, he is great enough to not prove anything more. "
" For him, the goal now is to enjoy as many games as possible, because when he finally retires, it will be a sad day for all fans. After all, we will lose one of the greatest players in history. "
" He is 40 years old and still insists on fighting on the court, which is commendable. Considering that he is ' It is not impossible to play for another two or three years. He seems to want to prove to young players and even older players that even at the age of 42 or 43, he can still maintain a competitive state and continue to perform well on the court. "
" Although he is playing in the Saudi League now, he believes that with the addition of more high-level players, the overall level of the league will continue to improve, and he can still gain a foothold here. As we often say, football has nothing to do with age, but only strength. ”
