Ronaldo says he wants to play 10 more years and reach 1,000 goals

Cristiano Ronaldo, 41, told a Portugal press conference he wants to play another decade and hit 1,000 goals, as coach Jorge Jesus promised him a start against Wales.

Cristiano Ronaldo speaks at a press conference for the Portugal national team

Cristiano Ronaldo stated at a Portugal press conference that he intends to play for another 10 years and aims to reach 1,000 goals, though reports noted it was unclear whether he was joking. He also said the only way to "kill" him was with a shotgun.

Portugal's new coach Jorge Jesus stressed how important Ronaldo is to the team and promised he will start against Wales. Ronaldo, 41, is in the squad for four Nations League matches, against Wales, Norway and Denmark. He is still the national side's record scorer and caps leader, and has 13 goals for Al-Nassr since joining in January.

Germany's players have new rules from Jürgen Klopp. Phones are banned in the gym and during massages, haircuts are not allowed at camp, and visits from family are permitted only in exceptional cases. Mostovoy is pleased with the regime: in his view the squad will no longer be idling as they did under Nagelsmann.

Alexander Golovin's agent has set out the midfielder's talks with the top Russian Premier League clubs. Zenit did not agree terms on money, though the agent said €5m was not what they were asking. Spartak came in with an offer too late. Interest remains from Saudi Arabia, where the midfielder is being offered more than €6m.

Jadson, the former Shakhtar player, will not travel to Moscow for Wagner's farewell match. Igor Akinfeev, the CSKA Moscow goalkeeper, recalled the nickname the Brazilian was given when Wagner first arrived at the club.

If Jesus keeps his word, Ronaldo's next Portugal goal would come in a fixture where he starts from the first minute, and the 1,000 target he named is one he can only approach through the national team and Al-Nassr together. That is a reading of his remarks, not a plan either side has set out.
