DAZN released today most of their Cristiano Ronaldo interview, where he talked about his future in football: “Everything has changed compared to when I was 18. At that time, when I started playing football, I had a different vision: it was a spontaneous, magical and naïve passion. I have the same motivation now, I am happy to play, but my priorities are diverse: you need to win, lift trophies, be the top guy. I did not have much pressure on me back in the day, I just had fun. I have a lot of responsibilities now. However, football keeps making me happy, I want to play for many more years.”

“Right now, I am not interested in becoming a coach: maybe one day down the line I will get bored and I will feel the desire, never say never… I would be a motivator, the manager must transmit his passions and his talents to the team. For example, I like to enjoy myself, dribble, shoot, score: I would pass that along for sure.”

On Juventus: “My first memory in Turin is the presentation, which was thrilling, with many fans, friends and family. I like everything about this club: it is the best one in Italy and there is a great culture and history behind it. I am happy to be here, I want to win many trophies with them. I like the Italian culture in general al lot.”

On his best goal: “The bicycle kick against Gianluigi Buffon. It was a unique goal in a unique stadium, against a great team. It was a truly special night. Gigi always seemed a very nice person to me, happy and positive, and he proved to be that in that occasion as well, since he complimented me even though he was on the wrong end. He is just as I imagined: relaxed, generous, a great person that surprises you every day.”

On the toughest defenders to face: “The ones I go against in practice every day: Leonardo Bonucci, Giorgio Chiellini, Matthijs De Ligt. I feared Chiellini before coming here.”

On the best player in Serie A: “I got the award, so it is me for now, we will see next year. There are several high-quality footballs in Serie A. It was nice to be voted by my colleagues, I thanked them and I count on winning next year too.”

“Champions League is the best competition in the world and the one I like playing the most. It is special. It is completely different than Serie A conceptually too.”

“The European Championship with Portugal was the most meaningful trophy I have won so far. It is was an incredible and unforgettable night: I cried, laughed, suffered, screamed, got drunk. I cried so much that I was dehydrated after the game, I took a sip of champagne during the celebrations and I immediately felt light-headed. I never drink, but it was a special event, the most important trophy ever.”

“There are positive and negative moments in life, but deep inside I am whole and happy. Being criticized is part of the game, but you have to stay positive but that is simply how football is. People either criticize or cheers for you, it is normal, not an issue. I know who I am, I know what I will achieve and at the end of the day they will tell ‘good’.”

“When I am at home, my sister and my mom call me Ronaldo, instead it was Cristiano at school, ‘Roni’ or ‘Cris’ in football. Only the fans call me CR7”.
