Ronaldo: ‘I’m not thinking about marriage right now, but I’m thinking about her [Gio] he deserves it and I deserve it. I’m thinking about it” – Football

Piers Morgan’s interview with Cristiano Ronaldo is broadcast for the first time this Wednesday in the UK. The conversation between the Portuguese star and the journalist is divided into two parts, airing this Wednesday and Thursday on Talk TV.

the reviews

— Nobody likes to see successful people.

— Sometimes I don’t understand why the press criticizes me so much.

— I am proud to have so many followers and fans. I often ask myself, ‘Why me?’ I think it’s more than just being a good player, but it’s also important to be charismatic and personable. I am an appetizing fruit.

— I don’t waste time with people who don’t like me. I like being surrounded by people who like me.

— I don’t understand why Rooney criticizes. ‘You’re jealous?’ Just last year I was at my house playing with my son. I don’t understand. People may have their opinion, but they don’t know what’s really happening on the field or in my life.

— Rooney and Neville take advantage of my fame. They are not my friends.

— Roy Keane was the best captain ever for me. It’s not because he says good things about me, but because he was a great friend in the locker room.

the death of the son

— My son’s death was the worst moment of my life since my father died. Georgina and I went through difficult times and we didn’t understand why this happened to us.

– I had never felt joy and sadness at the same time. She didn’t know whether to smile or cry. I didn’t know how to react or what to do.

— Cristiano Júnior and I cried together when I told him of the death of the child.

— I started to see life differently and also to look at Gio differently.

“The baby’s ashes are here at home with my father’s. We have a small chapel at home and that’s where the two of them are. I often talk to them.

— I received a letter from the British royal family offering condolences when my son died.

— I am very grateful to the British community for their support.

— I’m not thinking of having any more children, but the future belongs to God.

— Georgina is a very mature person for her age and she helps me a lot.

“I’m not thinking about marriage right now, but I think she deserves it and I do. I’m thinking about it.

The club

— I grant the interview because it’s time to say something.

— I came close to playing for Manchester City.

— Going to Manchester United was a good decision.

— I don’t follow records, records follow me.

— When I signed for Manchester, I thought everything would be different. I was surprised, by the negative, because I saw that everything was the same.

— Nothing has changed since 2009. Not the pool, the cooks, the gym. Stopped in time. Progress was zero.

— A club this size should be at the top.

– Never heard of Ralf Rangnick.

— I don’t like coaches who think they’re the last Coke in the desert.

— Young people have things easier. They don’t have to fight for anything. I’m not like my generation. They are not “hungry” to win.

— When I was 18 or 19 I always watched the more experienced players. New players don’t.

— I don’t like giving advice, I like being an example. Because I am the example.

— This generation will not be able to maintain high performance for as many years as players my age.

— Diogo Dalot is a new player, intelligent, very professional. He will have a long career.
