Ronaldo Talks About His Longtime Friendship and Respect for Lionel Messi
Football legend Cristiano Ronaldo has opened up about his long-standing relationship with Argentine and Inter Miami star Lionel Messi. For over 15 years, the two have been the biggest names in football, dominating the sport and sharing an incredible 13 Ballon d’Or awards between them.
Now in their late 30s and early 40s, Ronaldo and Messi remain not only football’s top earners but also among the highest-paid athletes worldwide. With Portugal set to face Spain in the UEFA Nations League final on Sunday, Ronaldo shared some insights ahead of the match.
According to reports from Alfremartinezz and Fabrizio Romano, Ronaldo revealed that Messi isn’t fluent in English and that he once acted as the Argentine’s translator at award ceremonies. Despite their rivalry, Ronaldo spoke warmly about their mutual respect, saying Messi has always treated him well.
“Of course I have affection for Leo Messi. We’ve shared the spotlight for 15 years,” Ronaldo said. “I remember helping him with English at the Galas because he wasn’t fluent. He always showed me respect and kindness.”
Cristiano Ronaldo speaks on his son’s future and football career after watching his training sessions.
He spoke about his 16-year-old son “He’s a good kid. Honest, a good kid. The others are tougher. The ones I have at home, the younger ones. This one is no problem. The others…”
“When I was his age, he was a bit bigger and stronger. I was smaller. I believe he will be bigger than me in size. The hunger is the most challenging aspect.”
Footballers João Pedro and Moisés Caicedo have shared their thoughts on the recent transfer of former Brighton player Danny Welbeck.
It can be noted that Welbeck recently completed a move to Stamford Bridge. Pedro shared “This will mark the third occasion we have played together, and I believe, just as he did for me previously, he will extend his support to everyone in the squad. Danny embodies that spirit; he is incredibly helpful and genuinely wishes the best for everyone around him and for the team.
“It is well-known that he is an exceptional player. I am eager to play alongside him once more, and I believe he will be a tremendous asset to our group.”
Real Madrid player Vinícius Júnior has spoken about his contract and how things have been since discussions began.
He said “It’s gone very well, meeting the new coach and the new players and training very hard. Mourinho wants me to be as I’ve always been: happy, cheerful, and that I play my football.”
“We have to prepare physically so that during the season we have fewer injuries and we can count on everybody. Monday was a double session, Tuesday is one session. So let’s go. Today we did a bit of work in the gym and a short session to load our legs some more.”
