“We had the opportunity to speak last year in Dubai, I was with Joshua and we had conversation.
“Thirty-three years old is that age where you start to feel down.
“I don’t wanna be in the sport, in football, where people say, ‘Cristiano was an unbelievable player and now he’s slow.’
“I don’t want that. You can take care a lot of your body, the body’s not a problem I don’t think.
“It’s here [points to his head], your motivation, experience. I think this is the most tough.”

Meanwhile, Legit.ng had earlier reported that it was a fight-to-finish at the San Siro on Wednesday night, January 6, as Juventus battled hard to defeat Serie A leaders AC Milan 3-1 at the San Siro.
Federico Chiesa grabbed a brace in the encounter with Weston McKennie also scoring late on for the visitors to make Davide Calabria's goal for the hosts a mere consolation.
Juventus started on the front foot and barely two minutes into the game, Gianluca Frabotta got clear on the left, cut into the area and back to Dybala, whose shot hit Kjaer and deflected into goalkeeper Donnarumma’s hands.
Legit.ng also reported that Juventus opened the New Year with a win in Serie A after recording a comfortable 4-1 win over Udinese.
Cristiano Ronaldo scored a brace as Federico Chiesa also got his name on the scoresheet as well as Paulo Dybala to put the Biaconeri in fifth position in Serie A with a game at hand.
The defending champions were given an early scare in the 11th minute as Rodrigo De Paul thought he had scored for the away side only for the VAR to sot the striker in an offside position.
