Ferdinand Says Vinicius and Mbappe Can’t Meet Ronaldo’s Unique Career
Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand has explained why he believes Real Madrid stars Vinicius Junior and Kylian Mbappe will never reach the level of Al-Nassr captain Cristiano Ronaldo.
Ferdinand, who played alongside Ronaldo during his first stint at Manchester United before the Portuguese forward joined Real Madrid in 2009, spoke about Ronaldo’s unique career.
The former England defender highlighted Ronaldo’s ability to reinvent himself, achieving world-class success in two different playing styles. He pointed out that Ronaldo transitioned from being a dazzling winger at Manchester United to a clinical goalscorer at Real Madrid, winning five Ballon d’Ors in the process.
“Ronaldo was from another planet,” Ferdinand said. “There’s no one else I’ve seen with two world-class careers in one. At United, he was an entertainer, then he became a goal machine, winning the Ballon d’Or. Then at Real Madrid, he transformed into a number nine and was still world-class, winning games single-handedly.”
Ferdinand believes Vinicius and Mbappe, though talented, will never be able to replicate Ronaldo’s evolution. “Vinicius isn’t going to go from a left winger to a number nine, and Mbappe hasn’t done it either,” he added. “When you look at Ronaldo’s career, it’s truly something special.”
Former English footballer, Jamie Redknapp, makes bold suggestion regarding Mohamed Salah to leave the club, Liverpool.
The suggestion came after Liverpool manager Arne Slot criticized the player — a move Redknapp called out following Salah’s benching in the last match.
The former player shared “I don’t necessarily think in January. I just think we have got to let this settle. But I don’t foresee that he will see out the two years of his contract. I think it might be more in the summer.”
Arsenal football manager Mikel Arteta speaks on the team’s defeat against Aston Villa, 2–1, in their match on Saturday.
It can be recalled that Aston Villa scored a goal in the first half, but Arsenal scored back in the second half. After equalizing, Aston Villa scored another goal.
“In the first half we had moments, obviously had the best chance after a foul on Riccy [Calafiori] that Watkins goes through,” Arteta said.
“In the second half we started really well. Scored a goal and we were really dominant.”
Former Liverpool player, Jamie Carragher, speaks on Arsenal’s next match and claims that their game against Aston Villa will be challenging and described it as a test for the team to see how well they perform.
“Arsenal have looked the best team in the league by a long way so far this season, but Man City are still only five points behind.
There’s a long way to go and Arsenal will need to keep their heads! It could be tested tomorrow against Aston Villa!!”
