The Real Madrid striker says he still has the scoring records of Zico and Romario to break and has his sights on a fifth World Cup in 2010 -- a feat not even Pele achieved.

Ronaldo will face Chile on Sunday in a Cup qualifier, when Brazil can guarantee a berth in the 2006 World Cup in Germany. It would be Ronaldo's fourth World Cup -- and he doesn't plan on stopping.

"For me, this Cup won't be the last,'' he said in an interview with Pele's web site.

"Five years from now, I hope to be physically healthy and motivated to play one more Cup.''

Ronaldo was a 17-year-old reserve when Brazil beat Italy to win the World Cup in 1994. He reached the finals again in 1998, when Brazil lost to host France, and won his second Cup in 2002 in Japan, scoring both goals in a 2-0 win over Germany.

Now he's out for new conquests, and some already are within his reach.

Ronaldo has scored seven goals in the Cup qualifiers and is closing in on Zico and Romario, who lead the all-scorers table with nine each. With three more qualifiers this year, Ronaldo has a chance to take over scoring honours.

"I want to break every record possible. But the important thing is to win the Cup.''

Another personal ambition is to play in five World Cups, surpassing Pele's total of four. And if Brazil win another Cup, Ronaldo would match Pele's three titles of 1958, 1962 and 1970.

However today, at 28, Ronaldo has competition from a new generation of exceptional Brazilian strikers.

While Ronaldo was on vacation this summer, Inter Milan striker Adriano finished top scorer at the Confederations Cup with five goals as Brazil marched to the title in Germany. His scoring prowess and physical strength earned Adriano the nickname 'Emperor.'

Robinho, Ronaldo's new teammate on Real Madrid, is the darling of Brazilian fans. His agility and ball-handling prowess have enchanted Real supporters, and Brazilian winger Roberto Carlos predicted Robinho would be chosen the world's best player.

It's a title that now belongs to Barcelona's Ronaldinho, who was named FIFA's player of the year of 2004. Ronaldinho will miss Sunday's game, serving a one-game suspension.

Now a regretful Ronaldo has said that he would never ask to be rested from Brazil matches again.

"I don't want to be rested again, I always want to be with the Brazil team," Ronaldo told reporters.

"After the Confederations Cup, I'm not thinking of asking to be left out of any national team game.

"It wasn't worth it because of the punishment and the bad feeling which was left. I'm sure that everyone else who is here also wants to stay in the team for ever."

The question arose after it was suggested that Brazil could rest their top players from their last two World Cup qualifiers if they beat Chile and book their place in Germany next year.

A straight win will be enough for Brazil to qualify, meaning they could afford to experiment with younger players in the remaining games away to Bolivia and at home to Venezuela in October.

"I hope I'm always a good example to the younger players, not just of what I do on the field but also for my behaviour off it," added Ronaldo.
