DBasia.news – In his career Portuguese superstar Cristiano Ronaldo has had success stories with the clubs he has played for, from Manchester United, Real Madrid and Juventus. Success from a collective aspect to individual.
Five ballon d’Or, five Champions League titles, three Premier League titles, two Scudetto and two LaLiga titles as well as the European Cup and UEFA Nations League are the most prestigious titles ever won by CR7.
However, like a ‘storm’ that comes when public figures are on the rise, so is Ronaldo. When he was loved by many people, there were also those who became haters and criticized him.
Critics like those who said that Ronaldo is lazy to help the team in the defensive phase, despite the fact that he has scored six goals in nine matches in all competitions. So how does Ronaldo deal with the criticism?
“I know when the team needs my help defending. But my role at the club is to win, to help the team to win and to score goals (the defensive side) is part of my job.
“People don’t want to see that because they don’t like me but honestly I’m 36 years old, I won everything, so am I going to worry about people saying bad things about me?
“I sleep well at night. I go to bed with a great conscience. It continues because I will still keep my mouth shut and win things.”
“Criticism is part of the business. I’m not worried about that. And I see it as a good thing, to be honest. If they worry about me or they talk about me, it’s because they know my potential and value in football.”
“So great. I’ll give you an example: if you’re in school and you’re the best student, you ask the worst student if he likes him the most, they’ll say they don’t like him.”
Maintaining hunger, not getting satisfied quickly, and continuing to work hard to maintain the motivation of the former Sporting Lisbon player. Ronaldo hopes to help United return to success.
“I think the main word is I’m still happy and enjoying football. It doesn’t matter how many things I win in my career. I won everything but I’m still motivated,” Ronaldo added.
“I’m at a new chapter in my life, even with my age, and this is why I’m here – to try to win, and I think Manchester needs to be at that winning level and think about winning big things, so I’m here to help,” he explained.
