In North America, many fans know Cristiano Ronaldo's smirk and can recognize Didier Drogba in a commercial. Maybe they know too much for the good of M.L.S.
I looked up to Cristiano Ronaldo, and then it was always Didier Drogba.
If people only knew how much I respect Cristiano Ronaldo. I will repeat it to make myself clear: I respect Cristiano Ronaldo.
I can tell some names that played with me at Real Madrid and there's so many legends, everything is there. You know Roberto Carlos, Fernando Hierro, Raul, Zizou, Figo, Makelele, Ronaldo - the big one! - and Cristiano Ronaldo afterwards...pick any of those guys and you'd have an incredible team.
Not everyone is Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo. Even Cristiano Ronaldo's first years at Manchester United were quite difficult.
We know it's impossible sometimes to have good defending against Cristiano Ronaldo but we want to keep the ball, with good possession, as then he can do nothing in attack.
I say too much of what, he says too much of everything, too much stuff, too many places, too much information, too many people, too much of things for there to be too much of, there is too much to know and I don't know where to begin but I want to try.
Didier Drogba is one of the best strikers in the world and he has showed that for many years now in the Premier League.
Real Madrid without Cristiano Ronaldo are, of course, not what they were with Ronaldo, but they're still a very good team.
Didier Drogba and Samuel Eto'o, two fantastic African footballers. So successful. And very nice characters as well. I got the luck to know them personally. They helped me a lot.
I know I'm not a Lionel Messi or a Cristiano Ronaldo.
Cristiano Ronaldo respects the fans - it's like a marriage. There are good days and bad days, but the important thing is that they love each other.
Everyone knows Cristiano Ronaldo is better than Messi, not only me, but for some it's hard to recognize that.
Cristiano Ronaldo is sensational, a very good professional, an incredible goalscoring machine for many years, but Messi is the most complete player I have seen.
Am I the Cristiano Ronaldo of Sassuolo? Maybe yes, but I'm 500 goals away.
Nobody can ever truly replace Cristiano Ronaldo, because he was unique, a one-off, who created an unbelievably legacy of success at the club. But what I see in Vinicius is special too, I believe he is the best candidate in football to replace Cristiano and to conquer the world with Madrid.
I have a good relationship with Cristiano Ronaldo, and we'll have good relationship in the future, too.
