He is a machine. I don't know anyone who can perform like this despite his age. He continues to be at the top of the scoring list with 23 goals in the Saudi Arabian league. Moreover, he makes this statistic just before he turns 40. A great football player and a great person. It's like he was born for football. I hope it leaves us great memories at Euro 2024 in the summer.
At his age, Rooney can not play and Wayne even retired his player career many years ago. Cristiano is still able to play and can score many goals and being a most goal productive player in 2023 year is at his age, 39 years old is very impressive achievement from Cristiano Ronaldo individually.
He is no longer fast and good like three or four years ago but at his age, still playing and scoring goals, a lot, like him, is amazing and it's very hard to find another player who can do the same.
At his national team, he has a team mate Pepe who is playing at his 41 years old and together they will join Euro 2024 if none of them will get an injury and miss the tournament. If Pepe can play for Portugal at his 41 years old, next two years, in World Cup 2026, Cristiano Ronaldo will be able to play in that tournament, his sixth World Cup tournament.
If I'm not mistaken, in 2023 Ronaldo closed with 54 goals in all competitions including his goals with the Portuguese national team and surpassed the number of goals from other great players such as Mbappe and Haaland. However, this can still be a little proud considering its old age, but if we talk about the competitive level of the league, here the Saudi league is clearly very far from the top European leagues.
I think Ronaldo's focus at his age is no longer young, all that is needed is to keep his body fit and even though his running skills are no longer as fast as when he was young, it is clear that his finishing must still be good. We think that's all Ronaldo can rely on and in the Saudi league it shouldn't be a difficult thing for him to implement. We can see that he is still quite consistent even though there are times when he cannot win for Al-Nassr.
Injury is the thing that is most avoided and not only Ronaldo because all players will always be careful. As I said before, taking care of your body and strengthening your muscle mass is one way to avoid injury and that's why we see Ronaldo still has a strong body to this day and it works. In the Euro 2024 competition, we can still see Ronaldo competing and we also hope that the 2026 World Cup will be the last edition before he finally retires from football.
