Not everyone is Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo. Even Cristiano Ronaldo's first years at Manchester United were quite difficult.
For me, Paul Scholes is on the same level as Ronaldo. The real Ronaldo, not Cristiano. I always thought he was a great player but after I played alongside him I realised he was Manchester United's greatest player of all time. He did his talking on the pitch which I respected most.
It's a privilege for us, Portugal, to have a player like Cristiano Ronaldo.
I always looked up to Ronaldo, Cristiano Ronaldo because he was for me the ideal footballer. He was at United, he had an unbelievable shot, his skills, he was fast, so the complete player. I always try to do the same things on the pitch like him.
Of course I would like to play with Cristiano Ronaldo - he is a great player.
If people only knew how much I respect Cristiano Ronaldo. I will repeat it to make myself clear: I respect Cristiano Ronaldo.
It's true: with players like Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, it's difficult to catch them.
When Cristiano Ronaldo gets the ball, you can just leave him to it while he beats player after player.
Cristiano Ronaldo is a really important player.
He is the best. The best in the world, yes. Probably the best ever. I saw Maradona a couple of times. I never saw Pele. But Cristiano is amazing. This man is the best... Cristiano is a goals machine. He is an incredible player. He is like Zidane, there will never be another Ronaldo.
I'm a Cristiano Ronaldo fan and he's a player I've always followed.
Cristiano Ronaldo's a special player, but Messi's from another planet.
It would not be honest if I did a review, because I've worked with Leo Messi, whom I consider the best player I've seen. I cannot comment or compare with Cristiano Ronaldo because I have not worked with him. That is not to say that I do not have as much respect for Cristiano as a footballer.
The one thing Cristiano Ronaldo has is pace, quick feet and a great eye for goal.
I think the greatest Real Madrid player of all time is Cristiano Ronaldo followed by Ferenc Puskas.
Ronaldo equalled Puskas’ great record of 242 goals in fewer games.
He was also the fastest Real Madrid player to score 100 goals and holds the record for most goals scored for Madrid in a season.
I sincerely hope that Cristiano Ronaldo will reach my goal record for the national team.
