Ronaldo Nazario has shared his thoughts on whether Cristiano Ronaldo is the greatest footballer of all time.
Throughout his illustrious career, the Portuguese superstar has been shattering records consistently.
The five-time Ballon d’Or winner has played for some of the world’s most prestigious clubs, including Sporting Clube de Portugal, Manchester United, Real Madrid, and Juventus. ..Continue Reading
Currently, at 40 years old, he plays for Saudi Pro League team Al Nassr, joining them after a contentious end to his second spell at Old Trafford.
With 790 goals in 1050 club appearances so far, Ronaldo is undoubtedly one of the greatest players in history.
However, when asked directly if Cristiano Ronaldo is the GOAT, Brazilian legend Ronaldo placed him in the top 10, rather than at the very top.
As reported by Mundo Deportivo, he said: “Well, I don’t like to get into these things, but people have a lot of self-esteem… I prefer that people talk like that about my performance, about what I was… and not that I have to talk about myself.
“He has a fantastic story, doesn’t he? He conquered wonderful things, scored goals in every way, including a change of position because he has played as a winger and striker. That’s not easy. It’s among the best in history, but the best I don’t know… No, I don’t agree. I respect your opinion, but for me it is among the best. I would say among the top 10.”
In a separate interview, Ronaldo Nazario picked out the worst player he has played with in his career.
He explained to Romario TV: “There was one at Real Madrid that was a joke. Gravesen was a really great guy, very good person. He recently won a $50 million poker tournament. But in football he was very bad.”
Gravesen transferred to Los Blancos from Premier League side Everton in January 2005 for a reported fee of £2.5 million.
The Danish midfielder was brought in to strengthen Madrid’s defensive midfield and scored in one of his early appearances for the club, helping secure a 4-0 victory over Espanyol.
