“It’s Getting a Bit Annoying” – Ronaldo on 1000-Goal Talks
In a recent interview with El Chiringuito, Cristiano Ronaldo addressed the ongoing discussions about him potentially reaching 1,000 career goals. With 923 goals in 1,261 games to date, he is the only footballer to have surpassed 900 official goals.
Despite this remarkable achievement, Ronaldo expressed that the constant focus on hitting the 1,000-goal mark has become “a bit annoying.” He emphasized that while reaching the milestone would be great, he is not obsessed with it.
Ronaldo’s illustrious career has seen him play for top clubs like Sporting CP, Manchester United, Real Madrid, and Juventus, and he continues to be a prolific scorer at 39 years old.
In the 150-year history of football, only 24 players have scored 500 or more goals, with Ronaldo leading this elite group.
Super Eagles defender Calvin Bassey has opened up about a difficult period in his career, revealing that he almost stepped away from football.
Speaking during a recent interview, Bassey shared that he once made a personal promise to himself to quit pursuing football professionally if he failed to secure a spot at a professional club.
“I remember being 15 and going into my final year, and I told myself that if I didn’t get into a professional club, I would quit football. It was that simple,” he said.
“I would just stop pursuing it seriously and only play for fun. Thank God I eventually got a club, because I honestly don’t know where I would be otherwise.”
It has been reported that the Confederation of African Football (CAF) fined Egypt $5,000 following their clash with Zimbabwe for failing to manage post-match media obligations.
It was noted that after the match, the Egyptian players ignored the media. This action was said to be a violation of CAF’s media regulations, which led to the fine being imposed.
Head of the Super Eagles, Eric Chelle, shared that the big-name players on the team are not happy about being benched.
He recalled when he took out Samuel Chukwueze during the match against Tanzania.
“Yes, of course, we’ve in this team a lot of big names. They are competitors; they aren’t happy when they go to the bench,” Chelle said at his post-match interview.”
“My job is to make choices, and we’re playing a 4-4-2 diamond, and at this moment I feel we have to protect the wing.”
