In a TV interview with Diletta Leotta on Dazn, the Portuguese ace is told in the round, from his beginnings at Sporting Lisbon to today, in an out of the ordinary professional path that has led him to win everything, including five balls gold.
Buffon's backward goal
"The strongest player in the Italian championship? I have been awarded, so for now I am. We will see who will be next year, but I plan to win again," says CR7.
Ronaldo talks about the new experience with the Juventus shirt ("I like everything about Juve: there is a great culture, it is the best Italian club, there is a great history behind me, I am happy to be here, I want to win many trophies with Juve "), the beloved Champions (" the best club competition in the world, is the tournament in which I like to play the most, it's special ") and the famous goal in reverse to Buffon with the Real, "the best goal of my career. A single goal in a single stadium, against a great team, a very special night".
The meeting with Ferguson
But the story starts from further away, from the meeting with the man who would have changed his life, Sir Alex Ferguson, who saw him play in a friendly at the time of Sporting Lisbon in 2003: "I remember it well, as if it were yesterday - he says excitedly - I was excited to play against one of the best clubs in the world and I remember saying to my best friend: "I'm not in the skin, tomorrow I play against Manchester! Do you think I play so well as to convince them to take me there? ", But I used to say it as a joke.
Then at the end of the game Ferguson himself said to me in a low voice: "You should come to us" and so we started talking about it. I was 18, I go to Manchester, I see the club facilities and inside me I thought "Come on, I like him, now I go back to Sporting to train well and then they will bring me here". But instead Ferguson said to me "Stay here, I'm counting on you." I couldn't believe it: I remember that I picked up the phone and immediately called my mom, what incredible moments! I have them in my head as if they were yesterday ... "
Bianconeri, the best defenders
The Portuguese who has faced dozens of defenders in his career but having to choose has no doubts about the strongest: "The most difficult to face are those with whom I challenge myself every day in training: Bonucci, Chiellini, De Ligt. Before arriving at Juve, I remember that the most feared was Chiellini ... ".
The secret of success
Thirty-five years old next February, Ronaldo still thinks about playing because - he says - "I still have so much fun ... playing, keeping fit, always being at high levels is what I like but the secret of everything is having fun. I do what that I love, I'm lucky and I'm really happy. People applaud, people criticize, but this is football, for me it's not a problem, it's normal: I know who I am, I know what I'm doing and at the end of the story all of me they will applaud and say 'good'. "
When the future still does not think about CR7, it only makes it known that "if I ever became a coach, I would be a motivator: the coach must pass on his passions and talents to the team. For example, I like to have fun, dribble, shoot, scoring goals: I should pass this on to the team as a motivator, confident. "
