Famous British journalist Piers Morgan shared memories of a conversation with legendary forward of «Al-Nassr» Cristiano Ronaldo:
Piers Morgan«I had a very interesting conversation with Cristiano. We had dinner after I first interviewed him three years ago, it was indeed a wonderful conversation, and I really like him as a person.
He treats Messi with incredible respect, and I asked him: ‘Who is the best player you’ve ever seen?’. He replied: ‘Messi, but you are asking the wrong question, don’t ask me who is the best player…’. This made me laugh.
But then he talked about the two of them and the difference between them and many other great players like Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, George Best, Paul Gascoigne, he said the difference is that he and Messi have had long careers.
Messi and Ronaldo have been at the top of their game for 18 or 19 years, and this speaks to their extraordinary dedication, great physical condition, and the rivalry that undoubtedly pushes each other to even greater heights. I think this has been one of the greatest rivalries in any sport, so we’re very lucky to have them».
