Ronaldo and Bale have ‘no problem’ – Rafa
“I still feel good, I feel young”, Ronaldo said”. “I feel good and useful in Madrid and I want to win here”.
“I know that it gets harder all the time, but in my head it is possible”. Ronaldo told Spanish newspaper Marca on Wednesday he’ll be vying for glory once again next summer at the 2016 UEFA European Championship in France.
He was responding to claims made by Bale’s agent Jonathan Barnett, who described Ronaldo as “an underwear seller” and claimed his client would be the best player in the world if the Potuguese would leave the club.
While Barnett also said that there is no problem between the £80million men, the overwhelming feeling in Madrid is that the two don’t see eye-to-eye, despite Benitez weighing in with the latest denial.
“At the moment I do not feel any different from when I was 25”, Ronaldo said.
“You do not grow old overnight, it happens slowly”. “If you take care of yourself, you can play until you are 40”.
“Back in 2006 I went to see Bolton-Southampton”. I plan to continue [with the same] games and goals average. He has played 123 games for his country, scoring a Portuguese record 55 goals. Do the maths… Cristiano Ronaldo would sign up for that right now.
However, when he answered, it appears Ronaldo snubbed longstanding rival Messi, who has only scored three goals so far and is sidelined until the end of November.
“There are many great forwards in Europe, in many leagues, the English, the German…”, he added. Rooney, Agüero, Lewandowski, Neymar, Benzema is also very good.
“I always praise my players”.
No other player has won it as many times, but speaking at the presentation of the trophy he re-iterated his desire to win it several more times before hanging up his boots.
