“Let’s savor the moment… I’m not obsessing over 1,000 goals,” Cristiano stated.
“If it happens, that’s great. If it doesn’t, that’s fine too!” he continued.
The Al-Nassr star emphasized the importance of living in the present, as he prefers not to impose additional pressure on himself to reach a milestone at this stage of his career.
“The present moment is what matters most—not what lies ahead. Let’s appreciate the now,” he urged.
The 41-year-old acknowledged that he is in the twilight years of his career and intends to approach it gradually.
“While records and specific goal counts, like 70 or 69, are commendable, at this stage of my career, I want to embrace the moment… and enjoy it. I aim to continue progressing step by step and winning championships,” he concluded.
