Cristiano Ronaldo has said it many times. No one else in the history of football comes close. And if he often does not have time to explain all his thoughts on this controversial subject, the five-time Portuguese Golden Ball used an interview with France Football to reveal the reason why he thinks to be the greatest player of all time.
As he won his fifth Ballon d’Or in 2017, the Lusitano was questioned by FF. And he was asked to know if he considered himself the No. 1 player that football has known. And as if expecting it, Cristiano Ronaldo went wild. “I have never seen anyone better than mehe said straight away. I always thought that. No footballer can do the things that I can. There is no player more complete than me. I play well with both feet, I’m fast, powerful, good with my head, I score goals, I make assists. There are guys who prefer Neymar or Messi. But I tell you: there is no one more complete than me.”
“No one has won as many individual trophies as me. And I’m not just talking about the Ballon d’Or. That means something, doesn’t it? It’s not just the result of the work I do in the gym, as some people think. It is the sum of many things. Legends like Floyd Mayweather [Jr.] and LeBron James do not reach their perfect level by chance. To be at the top and stay there, you have to have more talent than the others.added CR7.
