Portugal captain, Cristiano Ronaldo has revealed why he signed for Juventus and remained in Europe instead of going to China or Qatar.
Ronaldo said he wants to show that he was “different” from other players of his age who move to China or Qatar for mega-money deals.
He said this during his official unveiling as a Juventus player on Monday.
The former Manchester United player’s 100 million euro move from Real Madrid was announced last week.
He told press conference in Turin, “I’m different from other players who think their careers are over when they’re my age,” said the 33 -year-old Portugal captain.
“I want to show that I’m not like the others, I’m different.
“Players of my age go to China or Qatar so coming to such an important club at this stage in my career makes me very happy.”
He added, “We’re going to fight for not just Champions League, but also Serie A and the others trophies.
“I need to work hard because the Champions League is not easily won. I hope I can help.”
