Cristiano Ronaldo made a notable appearance at the Globe Soccer Awards. The Portuguese star was honored this Friday evening in Dubai, where this ceremony rewarding the great players in football takes place each year, by receiving the trophy for the best scorer of all time. On stage, the striker with more than 900 goals in official matches spoke on several subjects with breathtaking frankness.
Starting with the Ballon d’Or. While he was paying tribute to the representatives of the new generation who are Jude Bellingham, Lamine Yamal and Vinicius, “CR7” indulged in a confidence about the last named. “In my opinion, he deserved to win the Ballon d’Or. It’s unfair, I say it here in front of everyone,” he said, before continuing: “When someone deserves, you must reward them. This is why I love the Globe Soccer Awards, you guys are fair!”
Later in the evening, the Brazilian was awarded the best player of the year award and replied to his glorious elder: “If Cristiano says I’m the best then I believe it. He is my biggest idol, along with Neymar, and it is an honor to participate in this gala with him.
Cristiano Ronaldo also made a tackle in Ligue 1, which he had already scratched almost a year ago. When asked if he stood by his comments at the time, when he said that the Saudi Arabian championship was better, his response was: “Of course! Easily. I’m not saying that because I play here. I don’t care what people think. They should come here and play to see. In France, there is only PSG, the others are finished.
Furthermore, the five-time Ballon d’Or winner gave his opinion on the situation of Manchester United, his former club, stuck in a results crisis (currently 14th in the Premier League) and which recently changed coach. “The problem is not the coach. It’s much deeper, proclaimed the iconic ex-No. 7 of the Red Devils. It’s like an aquarium. If there is a sick fish, you remove it and the problem is solved. But if you put him back in the aquarium, he will be sick again.”
