Cristiano Ronaldo has revealed a shift in his priorities, stating that he no longer places a high value on individual accolades like being the best player in the world.
Instead, the 39-year-old is focused on contributing to the success of his team, Al-Nassr.
Since joining the Saudi Pro League club in January 2023, Ronaldo has continued to deliver impressive performances on the pitch.
His recent goal in Al-Nassr’s victory over Al-Rayyan in the AFC Champions League marked a significant milestone in his career, reaching 904 goals.
Despite his illustrious career, which includes five Ballon d’Or awards, Ronaldo has admitted that individual records are no longer a primary motivator. His primary goal now is to enjoy his time at Al-Nassr and help the team achieve success.
In a touching tribute, Ronaldo dedicated his goal against Al-Rayyan to his late father, whose birthday fell on the same day. The Portuguese star’s emotional celebration reflected the deep personal connection he has to his family.
As Ronaldo approaches the end of his career, he has expressed his desire to retire at Al-Nassr. While he hasn’t clinched any domestic or continental titles with the Saudi club, his contributions have been invaluable. He helped Al-Nassr win the Arab Club Champions Cup in 2023 and set a record for the most goals scored in a single season in the Saudi Pro League.
With his continued dedication and skill, Ronaldo remains a force to be reckoned with in the world of football, even as he shifts his focus from individual glory to collective achievements.
