Ronaldo said that he always had to prove himself year after year and said he respected everyone’s opinion.
“Even if I win the World Cup, that will continue. Some people like me more, some less. It’s like in life, some like blondes, some like brunettes.
“I have always had to show what I can do year after year, especially for myself, family and fans. Everyone has an opinion. I respect that.
Speaking about his targets in Qatar, Ronaldo said that he would love to win the World Cup but insisted he would still be happy even if he fails to do so given his achievements.
“I would live to win this tournament. I’m ambitious but if you tell me I won’t win any more tournaments I would still be happy given all I have won. I would be happy with my achievements. In the history books all other records will be there. But obviously, a World Cup on the shelf wouldn’t be bad. It would be a dream. I hope all the energy is on the right side and on our side.”
When asked about his recent photoshoot with Messi, the Portuguese superstar said that “life is like chess” and commented that he would like to finish the World Cup with a checkmate on his Argentinian rival.
