CHASING 1000 GOALS
Chasing 1000 Goals: The Cristiano Ronaldo Story
One thousand goals. A mythical summit. An unbroken will.
This is not another standard biography. We already know the story. We know the trophies, the glory, and the fame.
Chasing 1000 Goals is the anatomy of an unprecedented pursuit.
Cristiano Ronaldo is chasing a number that no professional footballer was ever supposed to reach. Standing on 976 official, verified career goals, he is on the precipice of a milestone that exists less as a statistic and more as a myth. How did a boy from the poverty of Santo António in Madeira, once told he was too skinny and too emotional, build himself into the most lethal finishing machine in football history?
For the first time, every single one of his 976 goals has been meticulously documented, verified, and placed in chronological context. Through thirteen detailed chapters, this book explores the relentless physical, tactical, and mental engineering behind his extraordinary athletic longevity.
Inside this definitive collector’s edition, you will discover:
- The 976-Goals Complete Log: A meticulous, transparent historical ledger detailing every single career strike—from his first for Sporting CP in October 2002 to his final world-stage goals in 2026.
- Rich Statistical Overviews: Meticulous season-by-season breakdowns of appearances, goals, assists, and minutes across his spells at Sporting CP, Manchester United, Real Madrid, Juventus, Al-Nassr, and the Portuguese National Team.
- The Manufactured Narrative: A critical, non-partisan examination of the global media and corporate forces that cast Ronaldo as the rebellious villain while shielding his eternal rival, Lionel Messi.
- The CR7 Blueprint: How a boy from a small Atlantic island transformed the science of professional sports conditioning, sleep optimization, and recovery forever.
Complete with comprehensive season-by-season club tables and a complete international scoring ledger, this is the ultimate, water-tight statistical reference and biography for every football purist.
Whether he finally scales the mythical four-digit summit or is caught by the slow, inevitable arithmetic of time, his journey remains unrepeatable.
The countdown is on. The chase itself is the monument.
