“I don’t think young people don’t respect older players, but they live in a different era. They have it easier. I don’t mean just Manchester United players. This applies to all clubs. But you can’t blame them for that, because life has changed Ronaldo rated.
However, the Portuguese international has his reservations about his younger teammates.
They listen with one ear and let it out with the other. Compassion. If young players have the best examples in front of them and they don’t use them, it’s a bit strange. I remember when I was 18, 19, 20 I was always watching van Nistelrooy, Ferdinand, Keane and Giggs. That’s why I’ve been so successful and I’m so long-lived. I take care of my body and mind because I learned from these guys said Ronaldo.
“Most of today’s young players don’t do that. They won’t play for many years. In my generation, many players continue their careers at the top level at the age of 36, 37, 38. I think currently cases like this are count on the fingers of one hand added the Portuguese.
– I don’t like giving advice. I am an example. I’m the first to arrive at the club and the last to leave. Everything speaks for itself – points out.
Ronaldo has, however, identified Manchester United players he believes are doing the right thing.
“I have no doubts that Diego Dalot will play for a long time. He is young, intelligent and very professional. Lisandro Martinez and Casemiro can probably afford it too commented the 37-year-old.
