Cristiano Ronaldo is “the Best Player in History”
After clinching his fifth Ballon d’Or award yesterday evening, Cristiano Ronaldo stated claims that he is “the best player in history”.
The Portuguese captain has now equalled the record for most Ballon d’Or wins, drawing level with Lionel Messi.
Ronaldo believes that his all-round ability and individual accolades mean that no one compares to him.
Ballon d’Or winner
Cristiano Ronaldo claimed Ballon d’Or number five yesterday evening, to be crowned the world’s best player for the second consecutive year.
The Real Madrid hitman finished ahead of Lionel Messi, in what has been a truly remarkable year from both an individual and team perspective.
49 goals, four major club trophies and the three highest individual accolades, 2017 belongs to CR7.
“There’s no-one more complete than me”
The 32-year-old claims that many factors have seen him become the greatest player of all-time.
His all-round attributes, his individual awards and his gym work have all helped him to become a “legend”.
“I’m the best player in history, in the good moments and the bad ones.
I respect everyone’s preferences, but I’ve never seen anyone better than me.
I have always thought that. No footballer can do the things I can. There’s no player more complete than me.
I play well with both feet, I’m quick, powerful, good with the head, I score goals, I make assists.
There are guys who prefer Neymar or Messi. But I tell you: there’s no-one more complete than me.
No one has won as many individual trophies as me. And I’m not speaking just of the Ballon d’Or.
That says something, doesn’t it? It’s not just a result of the work I do in the gym, like some people think. It’s the sum of many things.
Legends like Floyd Mayweather and LeBron James don’t get to their perfect level by chance. Many factors coincide.
To be at the top and to stay there, you have to have more talent than the others.”
