The Portuguese striker spoke about his future following Real Madrid's Club World Cup triumph in Abu Dhabi. "If possible, I would like to play a lot, but it doesn't depend on me. What does depend on me is what I do on the pitch," he admitted after his goal gave Madrid a fifth trophy in 2017.
"I am not in charge of the club, I do my job and I think I do it well," he added. "I am very happy for winning this trophy. We had never won five in one year and we're happy. I am happy for breaking another goalscoring record, but I already said it is my job and I always try to do my best."
Ronaldo extended his contract until 2021 but his desire to play into his forties could stop him from retiring at the Santiago Bernabeu. "It's important to enjoy yourself and stay motivated," he concluded.
