Who does Cristiano Ronaldo envy?
Considered one of the greatest forwards in football history, Cristiano Ronaldo shared his thoughts about his idols. The star of "Al-Nassr" and the Portugal national team mentioned who inspired him during his childhood.
According to Ronaldo, he grew up watching the games of two legendary football stars – Ronaldo Nazario and Ronaldinho.
"Ronaldo and Ronaldinho left a legacy and history behind them. I can say that I have won more personal titles than them, but they were world champions. I grew up watching their games and I would say both of them are my idols. It doesn't matter which one is stronger. The most important thing is that they contributed to the history of football," said Ronaldo.
Now 40 years old and having scored 925 goals, Cristiano Ronaldo has won numerous awards throughout his unparalleled career. However, he still remembers the football stars he admired with respect.
Brazilian Ronaldo and Ronaldinho are remembered not only for their technical skills but also for their world championships. Ronaldo Nazario participated in the 1994 and 2002 World Cups, winning the championship for the second time. Ronaldinho brought Brazil its 5th world championship with his outstanding performances in the 2002 World Cup.
Such comparisons between individual and team achievements in football always lead to heated debates. But for Cristiano Ronaldo, the most important thing is the legacy of football legends and their contributions to the game.
This is a very interesting perspective for fans, as Ronaldo himself has become an idol for future generations of footballers. His achievements and great performances on the field inspire many young players.
