RONALDO!

Do you miss the Premier League?

Of course. I will always be grateful to Manchester United for the opportunities they gave me.  England fans are incredible – they live for the game. Now, however, I play for Real Madrid – a place I always dreamed of coming to – and hopefully I can make history here.

Your goalscoring record at Madrid is incredible!

Much credit must also go to my team-mates but I am just loving my football. I want to be remembered as the guy who put smiles on fans’ faces – I want a good legacy that my family will remember.

What’s it like working with Jose Mourinho?

He is the perfect coach. He has experience and a way of working with the players that brings success. He also has confidence in himself and his team which no-one can challenge. He commands respect and rightly so!

Is he better than Sir Alex Ferguson?

They are different but also the same! Both demand perfection and desire. Sir Alex was like a father to me, so he will always have a special place in my heart.

How good is your old team-mate Wayne Rooney?

He is incredible, a footballing machine. He never knows when he is beaten. For me he is easily England’s best player…

And Lionel Messi? Who’s the best – you or him?

I am always asked this question! I admire Messi for what he has done as a footballer – the skills he has are incredible – and you never read bad things about him away from the pitch either. His role in a fantastic Barcelona side is clear to see. But I will let others decide who is best. Yet, I do not see it as a competition between me and him anyway!
