“Cristiano Ronaldo Will Play Until He Clocks 40” – Portugal Coach, Fernando Santos

Portugal head coach, Fernandos Santos believes Cristiano Ronaldo has all it takes to play at the topflight level until he is 40-year-old.

The 65-year-old gaffer added that the Portuguese captain is physically strong enough to continue playing until his body slows down.

Cristiano Ronaldo, 35, registered his 450th league goals as he helped salvaged a 2-2 draw with Roma despite playing most part of the game with ten men.

The former Real Madrid man also scored 101 goals for the national side and has continued to impress at Juventus since his move to the Old Lady in July 2018.

Santos told TVI24:

Cristiano is ready to play until he’s 40, but he doesn’t know if it will happen.

“At some point he may feel that he no longer has the same conditions.

“He’s not a player who will lower his level, when he feels like he can’t be Ronaldo, he won’t.”

Ronaldo has come out of the blocks firing this season, with five goals in his opening three games for club and country.
