Juventus star Cristiano Ronaldo has insisted he is not obsessed with individual awards after enjoying another stunning year in 2018.
The 33-year-old missed out on FIFA and UEFA’s player of the year trophies as former Real Madrid teammate Luka Modric swept all before him.
“I’m not obsessed by individual prizes,” Ronaldo told Portuguese sports daily Record.
“The most important thing is to win collective trophies and help the team. The rest comes naturally.”
Ronaldo added: “I don’t think all the time of beating records. I work above all to help the club and be at my best level.
“The technical, tactical and physical level of all teams is better today,” he said. “It’s increasingly tough to win so I have to keep working hard to stay on top.”
The Portugal captain scored 49 goals in 53 matches for both club and country in 2018, and currently sits top of the Serie A goalscoring charts this season with 14 strikes.
