바카라œI still feel good, sharp and in a good moment in my life,바카라 the Juventus and Portugal star said in a video interview.

바카라œI hope to play many, many years more, but you never know.바카라

The forward still has another full season on his contract at Juventus, expiring in 2022 when retirement won't be considered.

바카라œIf you feel motivated, it doesn't matter. Cristiano now is good," he said.

바카라œWhen I speak with the young boys, I'm always giving advice to them that I say, 'Enjoy the moment because we never know what's going to happen tomorrow. Something can happen in your life with your family'.바카라

It's tougher than expected for Juventus this season, with the nine-time defending Serie A champions unusually low in sixth place 바카라” 10 points behind leader AC Milan 바카라” albeit with 25 games remaining.

바카라œMy eyes see the future very, very bright,바카라 Ronaldo said.

"So, I'm happy with that.바카라 Happy too that he has won titles with Lisbon club Sporting, Manchester United, Real Madrid and Juventus. Winning the European Championship with Portugal in 2016 leaves the World Cup as the only major prize to elude him.

바카라œWe have to have the steps under the ground because we won (in) 2016 and now we want to win the World Cup,바카라 Ronaldo said.

바카라œEverything is possible, but you have to be realistic as well.바카라

A taste of the 2022 World Cup will come with friendlies next year against host nation Qatar.

바카라œI win (titles with) every club that I've played with,바카라 Ronaldo said.

바카라œBut (the) World Cup, it's a dream.바카라

By then, Ronaldo will hope to be back playing in front of full crowds again, which the pandemic restrictions still prevent in Italy heading into 2021. Next year will also see Portugal defend its title in the rescheduled European Championship.

바카라œI don't like to play in stadiums without the fans,바카라 he said.

"It's like to go to the circus and to (not) see clowns.바카라
