Ronaldo: ‘Age doesn’t matter, what matters is what you give to your mind and body’
At almost 37 years old (he will celebrate them on February 5), Cristiano Ronaldo spoke about his age in front of the many chilled fans gathered around him, a criterion which does not matter according to him. “I want to teach the youngest to take care of their bodies, to drink well, to sleep well, to train hard, to listen to their fathers who give good advice. I think you just have to follow good examples. As you know, I’m going to be 37 soon, and I’m still playing, expressed the Manchester United striker. I take care of my body. Age doesn’t matter, what matters is what you give to your mind and body. You are my motivation to keep playing football. Because without you, football would be worse, because we are driven by the fans. And just to feel the warmth you show me, the motivation, the love, it makes me so proud. And I have no other words to express it. But I have to say, thank you all for coming here. »
