The legendary former manager of Manchester United, Alex Ferguson, fondly recalled his time working with Cristiano Ronaldo. According to him, the Portuguese star stood out from the very beginning.
Speaking about Cristiano Ronaldo, Ferguson stated that even at the age of 17, Ronaldo not only displayed technical skill but also an exceptional determination to become the best. Even after training sessions ended, Ronaldo would stay on the field, repeatedly practicing free kicks and continuously working on himself. The manager emphasized that this work ethic transformed Ronaldo into an extraordinary football player.
Ferguson also touched on the warm remarks Ronaldo made about him during the player’s interview with Piers Morgan. He described the comments as heartfelt and genuine, noting that the trust and mutual respect between them had developed over many years.
The conversation also turned to the topic of the World Cup. According to Ferguson, Portugal has strong players in its squad; however, when the World Cup is mentioned, Brazil’s national team always stands out to him as the main favorite. He highlighted the natural skill and unique strength of Brazilian players.
Ferguson drew on his own experience, recalling the time he worked with Brazilian twins Rafael and Fabio. Their dedication to training at a high level every day and their love for football constantly impressed him. In Ferguson’s view, the team that manages to defeat Brazil will likely be the strongest candidate for winning the World Cup.
Ferguson’s words not only highlight Ronaldo’s remarkable journey but also emphasize how hard work, talent, and dreams converge in the world of football.
