Ronaldo talks about his future retirement and what he will miss the most about playing football.

Cristiano Ronaldo, the Portuguese football legend, recently shared his thoughts on what he will miss the most when he retires from the game. According to him, it's the adrenaline rush that comes with competing at the highest level that he will miss the most. After a successful 25-year career in professional football, Ronaldo has broken numerous records and is considered one of the greatest players in the history of the sport.

During his career, Ronaldo has won five Ballon d'Or awards and has been a part of multiple title-winning teams in various leagues, including the Premier League, La Liga, and the Champions League. He has also led his country, Portugal, to victory in the Nations League and the European Championship. Despite being 39 years old, Ronaldo shows no signs of slowing down as he recently scored his 900th and 901st career goals during an international break.

While his current contract with Al Nassr extends until 2025, there have been reports of Ronaldo wanting to play until the 2026 World Cup. And he believes that he still has more to offer, saying, "I can still produce something good for the foreseeable future." When asked what he will miss the most when he retires, Ronaldo replied, "I'm not going to have the adrenaline...or to be nervous, I think I'm going to miss that."

But Ronaldo is determined to prolong his career and continue to push his physical limits. He said, "With 40s you say, 'I give everything!', do you understand? 40 or 41 or 42, it doesn't matter. You say, 'I give my body for 25 years of football, I cannot give more because the age doesn't allow to go further', for example." He credits his longevity to taking care of himself and having good people around him.

When he eventually decides to retire, Ronaldo expects to feel a little lost but is excited to start a new chapter focusing on his business ventures. He said, "Of course I will miss [football]. Probably I will be a little bit lost but, listen, what am I going to do? You think I'm going to cry? Maybe a little bit because I become more sensitive." He plans to stay involved in his business and learn from those who are smarter than him.

In the end, Ronaldo believes that having a good team around you is crucial for success, both on and off the field. He said, "You have to be capable to understand that. I think I'm smart in football but in other areas there are people much smarter than me so you have to be surrounded by them, to learn from them, and you make your own style." As he looks towards the future, Ronaldo is excited for the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.
