Ronaldo wants to “Live like a King” in retirement

The Real Madrid’s leading player Cristiano Ronaldo, stated that he will “live like a king” once he retires. The player intends to work on his brand rather than coach in retirement.

 

The player who spoke to the spanish newspaper El Mundo, stated that football does not always captivate his interest.

 

“I have a top life, but I think I am going to enjoy it more when I finish my career, when I have time to do what I like,” he said.”This Saturday there is a boxing bout in Las Vegas and I would like to take my friends and family to see it, and I can’t because I don’t have time.”I am not going to cry about it now because I am making a sacrifice in inverted commas, but after I want to live like a king.”

Forbes Magazine placed the player as one of the third highest paid athletes with an annual income of just less than $80 Million dollars.

 

“If you ask me now if I want to be a coach, I would say no. Nor a sporting director or president of a club,” he added. “Since I was 27 I have had my own line of clothes and I want my brand to keep growing because football will finish in five, six, seven or 10 years.”

Ronaldo admitted that he has moulded his talents to become the three time world player of the year.

“Many people say they don’t regret anything. That is a lie,” he added.”I at least regret things a lot, but that also explains the kind of person you are.”
