Cristiano Ronaldo is a goal-scoring machine. Despite touching close to his forties, the Portuguese superstar does not show signs of stopping anytime soon. The player has been firing on all cylinders following his move to Al Nassr with the player emerging as the worldwide top scorer in 2023. Ex-Real Madrid boss Fabio Capello has been very impressed with the Portuguese skipper’s latest performances, with the Italian tactician lavishing praise on the player in an interview.

Former Real Madrid boss Fabio Capello is one of the most distinguished managers to come out of Italy. The tactician had a great time at the club, helping them win multiple titles. The ex-Madrista talked about multiple topics surrounding the club in an exclusive interview with Spanish outlet Marca praising the likes of Jude Bellingham and Carlo Ancelotti.

“You know that Ronaldo is a machine. His fuel is goals. That is his merit, which continues even if the years pass,” he said, Cristiano bagged the most goals last season, outscoring the likes of Erling Haaland and Kylian Mbappe. However, the player has had a rough start to 2024, currently out with a muscular injury. Al Nassr had to cancel their mid-season tour of China at the last moment with their skipper unable to compete because of his poor physical conditioning.

Capello also talked about Cristiano’s brilliance in the interview, stating, “You know that Ronaldo is a machine. His fuel is goals. That is his merit, that he continues even as the years go by.” The ex-Real Madrid boss also compared Cristiano to other players in the league, claiming that the Portuguese superstar has a drive like no one else.

Cristiano, despite his age, has shown no signs of stopping. The Portuguese superstar had 54 goals to his name across all competitions in 2023 and will look to build on the momentum from the previous year. However, things are not off to a great start with the player currently sidelined with an injury.

Cristiano addressed the fans after Al Nassr’s statement, saying, “As you know, in football some things you cannot control. I have played 22 years in football and I am a player that doesn’t have too many injuries. We will be back to make the Chinese people happy. This is my goal. I want to play for you. Don’t be sad because I am sad and I hope you understand the circumstances of a football player.”
