Samir Khedira, a German football legend of Turkish origin, has developed for 15 years at a high level with important titles. The former midfielder was privately passed by Real Madrid or Juventus, and shared the dressing room with Cristiano Ronaldo. So the Stuttgart native knows that the Portuguese striker has succeeded in Spain as well as in Italy. In response to a question from ESPN, Khedira spoke about the development of the five-a-side Golden Ball, who returned to Manchester United, during the last summer transfer window.
“I met two Cristianos, the first at Real Madrid, a little younger and maybe a little more selfish. Not in a negative way, but he had to find his character. He remembers that he scored lots and lots of goals and was great, but he didn’t have that much of an impact on the team. Then, My second experience with Cristiano, at Juventus…He arrived in the team and has the same selfishness of scoring but he was more of a captain and more of a leader by nature.He always pushed us and he knew he needed the support of his teammates to win trophies.Don’t get me wrong. He was always part of the team in Madrid, but at Juventus he was a bit more mature.
