The 36-year-old is not showing any signs of retrogressing despite his age, showing improved performances for Great Olympics.

"I don't know, but I believe when the time comes I will stop. I will not wait for someone to tell me to stop. When the time comes I will,” he told Joy Sports.

"In football you have to listen to yourself and your body will indicate it's over. Some people stop because of pressure from people. But I will not bow to that pressure. When the time comes to retire I will for now am active.”
