Cristiano Ronaldo is one of the guests of honor at the new edition of the Globe Soccer Awards, which is being held this Friday in Dubai. The famous Portuguese striker is named in several important categories, including Player of the Year and Middle East Footballer of the Year. Accompanied by Belgian Thibaut Courtois, former teammate at Real Madrid, CR7 addressed questions concerning the start of the careers of young players, highlighting the successes of Lamine Yamal and Jude Bellingham. Responding to the panel moderator, the football icon made a powerful statement.
“Will they succeed in maintaining their longevity? It depends. I have a very particular perspective on these kinds of subjects, to be honest. I am not a coach, I will never become a coach. President of a club, no more, but perhaps owner of a club. If I want it? It depends. I’ll have to look at the opportunities. Do I already have a club in mind? Yes, a few, maybe. But to answer your initial question, I think clubs need to protect young players more and more. They want to exploit the talent of young people in order to achieve results. It’s normal. Big companies do the same. Lamine and Bellingham are still very young; it’s possible that they are still playing at my age at a high level. However, they will have to make a lot of sacrifices to achieve this. I think clubs should take more care of these young talents and exploit them less; they should not play 70 matches per season, taking into account national selections and national competitions,” he revealed.
How can we change this?
“In my opinion, there is only one way to change things. Given how many games they play each season, while players complain about this classic volume, and I agree, I think the only way to fix it is to coach less often. Or to train more intelligently. There is no need to run 3-4 kilometers every day on the field, as they will do it during the game. So, if we do more specific work for these young players, I think they will have fewer injuries and an even better quality of play. In conclusion, I argue that it would be better to train less, but in a more efficient and intelligent way.”
Later, when discussing the delicate moment that crosses Ruben Amorim at Manchester UnitedCristiano Ronaldo reiterated his wish to acquire a club. “I have so many projects and dreams that are close to my heart, but mark these words: I will become the owner of a great club, without a doubt.”
