For Portuguese if he were 18 or 19 years old, he believes that he would not sleep thinking about his future. But at 36 years old and what happens in the end will be for the best.
Back from everything, Cristiano Ronaldo is enjoying a placid ‘third age’ at the age of 36. "What comes will be good," he said before scoring a double to Hungary (3-0). Fighting the second consecutive European Championship, more records and a possible change of club appear on the horizon for him.
Above good and evil, CR7 always gives people talk. Either because of the thorough examination of his accreditation to which a guard subjected him to his arrival at the stadium on Tuesday or because of the "viral" boycott he made of Coca-Cola in the press conference before the game.
Recorded by the cameras, Ronaldo arrived and removed two cans of the popular drink from the table to plant one of water and convey a message of healthy living.

Coca-Cola Killer, described the Portuguese sports newspaper Record and French international Paul Pogba followed his example by removing a beer from the table before his press conference.
Curves are coming
In sports, with almost two decades at the highest level, the Portuguese plays to enlarge his legend. With a kilometer-long track record, which only lacks the World Cup, Ronaldo disputes the European Championship trying to emulate Spain, the only team capable of chaining two titles, in 2008 and 2012.
On Tuesday in Budapest, in front of 68,000 spectators, when he was booed and insulted every time he touched the ball, Ronaldo made up a bad afternoon with two late goals that certify his status as Mister Eurocopa: he broke his tie with Michel Platini and was ranked as the best scorer history of the tournament with 11 goals.
They woke up the beast, he titled this Wednesday Record.
Earlier, by jumping onto the pitch as a starter, he had brought his tournament match record to 22 and became the first footballer to play in five editions.
Now there are curves for Portugal, who this Saturday visit a wounded Germany in Munich after losing 1-0 to France in their debut on Tuesday. And then he will close the first phase again in Budapest against France.
Facing two of the continent's historic powers, Ronaldo is already in a position to attack the incredible record of 109 goals in international matches held by Iranian Ali Daei. After the bite of him against Hungary, he is only three.
Future away from Juventus?
And beyond the European Championship, his future at Juventus, in which he has served as a relentless scorer in his three seasons, but has not managed to win the club the Champions League.
With his five ‘Orejonas’ (one with Manchester United and four with Real Madrid), Ronaldo can afford to choose the project that will allow him to qualify for a historic sixth crown.
“It doesn't tickle me. If I was 18 or 19, I don't think I would sleep thinking about my future. But I am 36 years old and what happens in the end will be the best, ”he said on Tuesday about the alleged interest of great teams from the continent.
