Talking about "Defense" with Yamal: Don't compare, the team is important

‌When asked how to view the so-called "Century showdown" with Barcelona young player Yamal, Ronaldo said frankly: "People always like to say that Ronaldo wants to compare this and that, I'm used to it. But these are two different eras, one is just beginning and the other is about to end. In fact, they should compare Yamal and Vitinia more, they are about the same age. But it doesn't matter , I can withstand these pressures."

and then corrected: "Actually what I said before is not completely correct. This is not Ronaldo vs. Yamal, but Portugal vs. Spain. I understand that the media wants to hype the game, which is normal and good. But what I hope most is that the Portugal team will show its best form and win and the championship, even if the opponent (Spain) may now be one of the world's strongest national teams."

Talking about Yamal's growth: Please let him play football quietly

reporters continue to ask Yamal's matter. Ronaldo commented: "He played very well, and the club and the national team gave him great support. He is in a good environment where he can display his talents. But please let him grow up well! To enjoy such a genius, you have to let him play quietly and don't give him too much unnecessary pressure. This may be the responsibility of your media, because he is really talented."

Talking about the Golden Globe Awards: Individual awards are not that important

When asked about the advice given to Yamal and who may win the Golden Globe Awards, Ronaldo said: "I suggest that I will give it to those who are willing to listen to it in private. As for the Golden Ball Awards, I have nothing to say. I think it should be given to those who performed the best and won the Champions League, but everyone's opinions are different. To be honest, I don't believe in these personal awards because I know how it works. Yamal can win the award, Dembele, Vitinia or other emerging players can do it, but in the final analysis, individual awards are not that important. "

Talking about Messi's cooperation: good relationships, but it's difficult to play football together

In addition to Yamal, the reporter also mentioned previous rumors that Ronaldo and Messi might play football together. Ronaldo responded with a smile: "Who knows? You all know that I have a deep relationship with Argentina. My wife is an Argentine. I have also received an invitation to play on behalf of the Argentine team to play the Club World Cup. But things are unpredictable. Although the old saying goes, 'Never tell me to die', to be honest, it is really difficult to achieve when playing football with Messi."

He added: "I just want to say that I have a lot of feelings for Argentine and Messi. We have been old opponents for more than ten years, and we have to have 15 years. I also translated English for him at some awards ceremony. I like him very much. He has always respected me and I respected him very much."
