Talking about his future plans, the 37-year-old said that he is looking forward to playing till the forties and right now focussing on short-term goals.
“Genetically I feel like I’m 30 years old. I take great care of my body and my mind. Something I’ve learned recently is that after 33, I believe the body can deliver if you need it, but the real battle is mental. I want to find out if I’m going to play until I’m 40, 41, or 42 but the most important thing is that my daily goal is to enjoy the moment,” said Ronaldo in a recent interview with ESPN.
