Score 1000 goals? This is what Cristiano said about the record that kept him awake
The Portuguese did not avoid the question about the possible 1000 goals before retiring
Cristiano Ronaldo scored two goals in Portugal's 3-2 victory over Slovakia, after which the Portuguese have qualified for Euro 2024. With these goals, the Portuguese continues to escape from Lionel Messi in a record that has no place to be broken. The doubts will be his and not the Argentine's: being the highest scorer in the history of world football. With 857 goals scored throughout his successful career, much has been said about the possibility of reaching 1000 goals, something that seems quite utopian.
After the victory against Slovakia, Cristiano Ronaldo has not avoided this question: “It's going to be quite difficult, but it's about seeing how I am mentally, my motivation. Yes, basically, my legs treat me as well as I treat them... We'll see, they are small stages. Until we reach 1,000, we first have to reach 900. I think I will achieve it,” he stated.
He also assured that he is experiencing a very particular moment in his career, which he is fully enjoying: "I am enjoying the moment, which is good, I feel good, my body is responding to what I have given it in recent years. I am happy "both in the national team and in the club. I have scored many goals and I feel good basically."
“On a personal level I am very happy with what I have done. Now we have to continue, we have a few more games and we have to perfect the machine. The team has been very good and with different systems. Portugal qualified because they played well, have a good team and an excellent coach (Spanish Roberto Martínez). It is no coincidence that we have qualified," he praised his current coach in the Portugal national team with great praise.
The fight to be the greatest murderer in history, something that will be Cristiano's
The two goals against Slovakia not only sealed the victory that qualified Portugal for the Euro Cup, they also extended the record with which it continues to surpass Messi. He reached the impressive mark of 125 goals for his team, for a total of 857 goals in official competitions in 1,185 games. The Argentine star has 819.
