“My goal is to score 1000 goals” he said on his YouTube channel.
Portuguese ‘soccer star’ Cristiano Ronaldo (Al Nassr) made a mocking remark about Brazil’s ‘soccer emperor’ Pele.
On the 28th (local time), Ronaldo said through his YouTube channel, “I want to score 1,000 goals. If there are no injuries, I want to achieve this record while playing until I am 41.”
He added, “I have to score 900 goals first. Then I will try to score 1,000 goals.”
Ronaldo, who played for Sporting (Portugal), Manchester United (England), Real Madrid (Spain), and Juventus (Italy) before moving to Saudi Arabia, has scored 899 goals in his career.
He scored 769 goals for his club team and 130 goals for the Portuguese national team.
Ronaldo then made a remark that seemed to disparage the late Pele, saying, “All my goals are recorded on video.”
Pele scored 1,281 goals according to FIFA, 1,279 goals according to Guinness World Records, and 1,283 goals according to his own record.
However, while opinions differ on the number of unofficial friendlies he played, Pele’s official goal tally is generally accepted as 757.
“Every goal I’ve scored is on video,” Ronaldo said. “Of course, I admire people like Pele and Alfredo Di Stefano.”
He continued, “If the fans want more goals, I can achieve it through training,” and added, “I will get recognition from the fans after I achieve the record. I don’t care which player people like and choose as the best.”
Meanwhile, the YouTube channel that Ronaldo opened on the 21st surpassed 1 million subscribers in just 1 hour and 29 minutes, winning the ‘Gold Button’ in the shortest period of time ever.
As of the 29th, the number of subscribers currently exceeds 50 million.
