In recognition, Cristiano Ronaldo has received hundreds or even thousands since the beginning of his career. But the one that compatriot Manuel Fernandez brought him back during an interview with Goal was really special. Because for the former Everton and Portsmouth player, who ended his career in Cyprus at the age of 36, the five-a-side Ballon d’Or has simply changed the mentality of Portuguese football.
“He had a very positive impact on all the Portuguese players”
“Basically he was dribbling. And one day I saw how much he changed. We played at Old Trafford with Portsmouth and lost 0-3. Suddenly his game became vertical, with or without the ball. At first, he just played with the ball at his feet. But at the time So short, he improved so much. It was great to see him. I think he removed all the players. I’m not saying that before we didn’t want to win. But he showed the others that to do that you have to do something extra to make your team win.”
“It’s easy to say ‘I want to win’ but would you give something extra to make that happen? And what would that thing be? Cristiano has shown that if you do everything in your power, you can go to another level and achieve incredible things. He has had a very positive impact on me.” All Portuguese players.
