Ronaldo to the Ballon d'Or official: You are a liar and my biggest dream is not to surpass Messi
The Portuguese star, Cristiano Ronaldo, responded to the editor-in-chief of the French magazine "France Football", which is responsible for awarding the best numbered individual award in the world of football, accusing him of lying, and that he was seeking more fame at his expense, according to the Spanish newspaper "AS".
And the editor-in-chief of the magazine, Pascal Ferret, had stated in previous statements that Ronaldo wanted to end his career, surpassing the Argentine legend, Lionel Messi, in the Golden Balls awarded by the magazine to the best player in the world for decades.
Messi, the current star of Paris Saint-Germain, and former Barcelona, was crowned, on Monday, the Ballon d'Or, the seventh time that the "Flea" has been crowned with the award, to outperform Bayern Munich striker, German international Robert Lewandowski (Bayern Munich), and the Chelsea midfielder, Italian international Jorginho, thanks to his victory with his country's Copa America title this summer.
Thus, the Argentine star moved away by two championships from his arch-rival Cristiano Ronaldo, whose titles in the tournament stopped at 5 titles.
Ronaldo explained through his official account on Facebook that Ferret had lied "when he said that my only ambition is to finish my career ahead of Messi, he used my name to promote his magazine in which he works, and it is not acceptable for the person responsible for this prestigious award to lie in this way."
The former Real Madrid star confirmed that he was always striving to win for the clubs he plays for, adding: "I do not compete with anyone, and my main ambition in my career is to win local and international titles for the clubs that I represent and for the Portuguese national team."
He continued by saying: “My biggest dream is to be a good example for everyone who wants to become a professional footballer, and to leave my name written in golden letters in the history of world football, and I conclude by saying that my focus is already on the upcoming (my current team) Manchester United match.
