Is Ronaldo Changing into Midfield: Cristiano Ronaldo is having his best times on the pitches of the Saudi Pro League. The all-time great, who finished last season as the world’s top scorer, smashing the net over 60 times, continues his great form this season as well. Recently, the 39-year-old became the first person to reach 900 career goals in professional football.
The Portuguese superstar shows no sign of slowing down, as the football world is curious about when he will hang up his legendary boots.
Is Ronaldo Changing into Midfield? Ex-Man United Coach Reveals
Former Manchester United coach René Meulensteen recently had a discussion with BoyleSports about Ronaldo’s retirement and whether his position will again be changed going forward. René sees no chance that CR7 will drop into midfield at the end of his career.
“Cristiano Ronaldo will choose to retire when he feels he can no longer play at the very top, he is never going to drop deep and play in another position. His passion for the game and to play for his country is exemplary.
“It’s just unbelievable really and we’ve been very fortunate over the last almost 20 years that we’ve had players of the ilk of Cristiano and Lionel Messi. They drove each other to such a high level and both have been absolutely world-class. I can only speak for Cristiano because there was a short spell in his career in which I worked with him. I think everything he’s achieved he has deserved because only himself was always the main motivator behind all his success.”
Rene lauds Ronaldo’s sheer commitment and the ego that feeds him to remain at the top.
“It’s true that Cristiano Ronaldo’s ego has been the key to his lasting success and that’s in a good way, he refuses to ever let his standards drop. He would never turn up to training and give anything less than his maximum effort and you can see that is still the same now at 39 years of age.
“He’d never even sprint at 70%, he is all or nothing and has worked so hard on the pitch as well as on his brand, he has a billion followers and he can do whatever he wants next. He does everything to the best of his ability and always pushes his own standards forward.”
