Simões Critiques Ronaldo's Ambition as He Nears 1000 Goals
Antonio Simões, a Portugal football legend, mocked Cristiano Ronaldo, who currently plays for Al-Nassr, regarding his ambition to become the first player in football history to score 1000 goals for club and country. Simões made these comments following Ronaldo's statement about his departure from Portugal’s UEFA Nations League training camp on September 30, 2026.
He accused Ronaldo of being selfish, stating, “Sometimes we feel that he is only thinking about himself.” Ronaldo is currently 21 goals away from reaching the milestone of 1000 career goals, which he could achieve sometime in the following year. Simões humorously suggested that after reaching this goal, Ronaldo would continue to play for the national team until the age of 49.
