Manchester United football star, Cristiano Ronaldo, said he came to win titles and did not come to enjoy the holiday.
Ronaldo responded in a lengthy interview with “Sky Sports” whether he still had the motivation to win at the age of 36, saying: “It doesn’t matter how many times I’ve won in my career, but I’m still motivated and excited to win at my age.”
He addressed the “Madeira missile”, as he calls it his fans, his critics, saying: “If they are worried about me or talk about me, it is because they still know my potential and my value in football.”
He said, “I know when the team needs to help me defensively, but my role at the club is to win and help the team win and score goals, and the defensive side is part of my job.”

He added: “People who don’t want to see it because they don’t like me but to be honest, I’m 36, I win everything, so would I be worried about people saying bad things about me? I sleep well at night. I go to My bed and my conscience are so relaxed, I keep it because I’m still shutting my mouth and winning things over.”
He stated, “Criticism is always part of the job, I’m not worried about that.”
