Ronaldo wants to score at least 30 goals for Corinthians by the end of the year.

"The ideal would be to play one game a week ....and score at least 30 goals," the 32-year-old striker told the O Estado de S Paulo newspaper in an interview published Sunday.

"It will not be easy ... but we will do the best we can. Thirty is a good number ... a good target."

Ronaldo, who signed a one-year contract with Corinthians late last year, made his debut for the team on March 4, playing 28 minutes. He played again four days later and started for the first time March 11, scoring in a 2-1 win over Sao Caetano in the state championship.

Ronaldo, the all-time leading World Cup scorer with 15 goals, acknowledged that he was not 100 percent physically fit and still had to lose some more weight after his comeback from a third knee operation.
