Real Madrid star Ronaldo: I want more and more titles

Real Madrid ace Cristiano Ronaldo says his hunger for titles remains as strong as ever.

Ronaldo collected his fourth European Golden Boot trophy yesterday.

He told World Soccer: "The most important job for a forward is to score goals – and to be the best goal scorer four times is an honour for me and something special. I consider it very important. And I love it because it's something you work for and at the end you reap the rewards. Let's hope I can keep up this streak.

"I thought maybe I could win one or two, but not four. But sometimes there is a sequence of events that push you towards an objective. In this last one, for example, I began to score a lot in the first few games and thought: “OK, I'm playing very well and I'm going to continue to do so." I didn't start saying I would win it either, but everything ends up taking over. You see people talk about the trophy and you motivate yourself.

"I want to keep winning. I still feel good, I feel young. I am 30 years old and I want to keep playing for five or six more. And in those years I want to do things well and maintain the level I've had the last few seasons. I know that it's gradually more difficult, but in my head it's possible. I want to win and I'm at the best club in the world. I have a contract until I'm 33 and, like I've said many times, my dream is to finish here at Real Madrid because I feel good and useful here. I want to keep going."
