Neville and Kinn played an incomparable role in Ronald becoming a star
Former Manchester United midfielder Eric Djemba-Djemba spoke about the incomparable role Gary Neville and Roy Keane played in turning legendary Portuguese footballer Cristiano Ronaldo into a world-class star. Zamin.uz reported on this.
The former footballer noted that a young Cristiano faced intense pressure and harsh treatment from his teammates during his early years at the English club. However, it was precisely these difficulties and the team environment that shaped him into an athlete with an even stronger will.
Goal.com reported on this. Recalling the training process of that era, Djemba-Djemba specifically noted that Gary Neville and Roy Keane played very aggressively against the young star.
He said that every time the experienced players pushed Ronaldo down during training, Cristiano could not hold back his tears. Despite this, he immediately stood up and continued to fight and run.
Ronaldo always aimed to be first, striving for victory both in training and in official matches. He fully deserves all the achievements he has reached today through his hard work and patience.
Despite being over forty years old, Cristiano Ronaldo continues to play at a high level for Saudi Arabia's Al-Nassr. The striker, who won numerous trophies at the world's leading clubs such as Manchester United, Real Madrid, and Juventus during his career, has won five Ballon d'Or awards.
Additionally, he entered history as a multiple-time winner of the UEFA Champions League. Djemba-Djemba did not hide his admiration for Ronaldo's current physical condition.
In his opinion, the Portuguese footballer possesses a discipline like that of a robot, and he could easily continue playing professionally until the age of forty-five. Currently, Cristiano Ronaldo has set the goal of scoring his thousandth career goal as his primary objective.
Furthermore, he is diligently preparing to lead his national team at the next World Cup in 2026. Ronaldo's long and successful journey serves as a true example for many young footballers.
