Cristiano Ronaldo strikes Wayne Rooney again in the second part of his interview with Piers Morgan. On the other hand, he was enthusiastic about Lionel Messi.
“More money in the bank or more Instagram followers?” Morgan asked the Manchester United forward. Ronaldo replied with a laugh: “Good question! Probably similar!” The reporter added, “I’m just trying to figure out how Wayne Rooney could hate you more!”
Ronaldo didn’t have to ask twice and criticized his former teammate once again. “Not only will he, imagine, the rest of the rats criticize me as well, but it’s good to still be number one.”
Already in the first part of the interview, he did not say kind words about English. “I don’t know why he criticizes me so much … probably because he retired and I still play at a high level,” said Ronaldo.
Rooney had repeatedly criticized Ronaldo in the past for complaining about his wildcard role at the Red Devils. “I just think the things he’s been doing since the start of the season are not acceptable for Manchester United,” explained the current manager talk about SPORTS.
Ronaldo also commented on his Ballon d’Or rival Lionel Messi. The Argentine is “magical”, he exclaimed: “He is a guy that I respect a lot for the way he always talks about me. His wife or my wife, my girlfriend, always respect him too and they are from Argentina. What I mean about Messi? A good guy who would do anything for football.”
Meanwhile, Ronaldo thinks his chances with Portugal are good for the World Cup in Qatar: “I’m very optimistic. We have a fantastic coach, we have a good generation of players. I’m looking forward to a great World Cup “. When asked what he would do if he won the World Cup, he replied, “Resign, 100 percent.”
