Luis Fernando Muriel, Atalanta’s top scorer and third in Serie A behind Cristiano and Romelu Lukaku, He was a guest on ESPN’s Divided Ball program. The forward spoke of his current situation, of the desire to continue making history at Calcio and what he feels every time he is compared to Ronaldo Luís Nazário de Lima, one of the best players of all time.
“For me it has always been a source of pride, responsibility, effort, motivation, to want to become a quarter or half of what Ronaldo was. I have always said that it is something quite out of any reality because Ronaldo has no comparison“Muriel said on ESPN.
The attacker emphasized that he has never compared himself to the Phenomenon, He sees it as something almost impossible to achieve, all the comparisons made from Italy are said by the media or people related to football. He expressed that the recent words of Christian Vieri made him happy and filled with motivation.
“I wish it seemed like half or half of what Ronaldo did. Recently it was the case of Vieri who on his YouTube channel made this comparison that fills me with pride, of motivation. I know I am far away, I know I have to work, but I hope I can get half of what he got. The only thing that this generates for me is motivation, the desire to work and continue to show that I have capabilities. It fills me with joy, “added Luis Fernando.
