Cristiano Ronaldo is not as fearsome as his Brazilian namesake, says former Manchester United teammate Mikael Silvestre CristianoRonaldo LionelMessi InterMilan Football Soccer
Ex-France international Silvestre played alongside both of the Ronaldos during his distinguished career, with a spell at Serie A giants Inter preceding a switch to Old Trafford.
“You called him ‘El Fenomeno’ then. I played against [Lionel] Messi and I played with Cristiano at Manchester United, but he [Ronaldo] is something else in terms of speed.”“Cristiano, maybe you can guess that he has three or four tricks he would use most of the time, but Ronnie, it was always something different.
“He could score from any type of position. He was playing on one leg at some points and was still beating defenders all over Europe.” Those figures have been comfortably surpassed by a man currently turning out for Juventus. Cristiano Ronaldo has found the target 626 times through 838 games for Sporting, Manchester United, Real Madrid and Juve. He is also just one away from reaching a century for Portugal.
