#40year-old Ronaldo is still the core#

Who would have thought that the 40-year-old football legend is still setting new limits! In the 9th round of the Saudi Super League, Riyadh won 4-1. In stoppage time, Cristiano Ronaldo sealed the victory with a divine hook. He used his ultimate skills to crown the team's 9th consecutive victory, leading the standings by 4 points and aiming for the championship!

This is not a veteran, he is clearly a core like a perpetual motion machine! He sprinted 21 times in the game and reached a top speed of 32.6 kilometers per hour. He could run faster than his post-2000 teammates. His 71 centimeters bounce in the header was equal to the Premier League level. Even a 32-year-old's physical condition may not be able to match it. He has scored 10 goals this season. He is not only a deadly terminator in the penalty area, but also a stable output point for creating set-piece opportunities. The dual core formed with Felix has allowed the team's offensive efficiency to soar, with the average goals per game rising from 1.8 to 2.7.

When leading, he retreats to control the rhythm. When falling behind, he presses forward and fights in the penalty area. His role is no longer limited to scoring goals. The unshakable 200 shots and extra practice at 6 a.m. after the game, while applying ice while studying the opponent's video, and the persistence to carve self-discipline into the bone marrow made a 7% body fat rate and a ten-year routine become the norm. From the European arena to the Saudi league, doubts have never stopped, but he proved with tough battles that age is never a signal to retire, but a medal of experience and perseverance.
