Cristiano Ronaldo has spoken about how young people view him and the influence he believes he has on their lives, saying he understands why many children and youths love him.
Ronaldo said he believes young people see him as a role model, adding that this is part of what motivates him to continue being an example to those who look up to him.
“I know why young children love Cristiano. They see me as a role model, and I will continue to do that,” Ronaldo said.
The Portugal star also made it clear that this is not something he plans to stop soon. According to him, even after he hangs up his football boots, he wants to remain someone young people can look to and learn from through his life and career.
“Even after I retire in 10 years,” said CR7.
Ronaldo has spent years as one of the world’s most prominent footballers, and over that time he has built a huge fan base, especially among children and young people who grew up watching him as a player to emulate.
Now, Ronaldo says his ambition is not limited to what he does on the pitch; he also wants to remain an example for a new generation, even when the day comes for him to say goodbye to football.
