Ronaldo can keep playing till 40 according to Paulo Ferreira

Cristiano Ronaldo remains one of the most lethal forwards of all time, he has aged like a fine wine and keeps getting better.

At the age of 35, Ronaldo still sets records in and out and still looks like he wants to achieve a whole lot more.

Ronaldo recently claimed he could play until he’s 40 and former Portugal team-mate Paulo Ferreira is in agreement with his compatriot’s claims.

“I’ve known Cristiano for a long time,” the former right-back told Goal at the London Football Awards. “His attitude, how professional he is, how hard he works – they are all outstanding.

“Until his body doesn’t allow him to play anymore, he will stay at this level. And I think he will last for four or five years more.

“He is still an important player who everyone respects. He is still feared because he can decide a game.”

“To still be playing at this level at 35, you have to look after yourself. You need to work hard, rest and eat properly.

“He does all that so when he says, he can go on until 40, I agree. Let’s see how his body handles it but if he doesn’t get injuries, then he can definitely do it.”
