"THIS GOAL IS POSSIBLE AT AL-NASSR"Emphasizing that this goal motivates Ronaldo to play football, the Romanian football figure said, "This is his real motivation. He wants to play an official match with his son and that's why he doesn't give up. This is possible at Al-Nassr, I don't know if it would be possible in another team. It would be more difficult at Real Madrid," he said. HIS SON IS ONLY 14 YEARS OLDCristiano Ronaldo Jr., born on June 17, 2010, just turned 14 and plays for Al-Nassr's youth teams. This indicates that Ronaldo will continue his football career for a few more years.
