The retired veteran has taken out time to talk about the Portuguese international, stating that he is ‘big-headed’ and therefore he can never compete against Messi.
Retired Brazilian international, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Cristiano-Ronaldo-c9629 is not humble at all. He claimed that the attacker is full of himself and that his pride overshadows his achievements.
According to the former Betis player, the former Red Devil is too arrogant. He went on to state that the player is the complete opposite of Barcelona’s http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lionel-Messi-c22296. He spoke specifically regarding humility and respect.
Apparently, the former winger is a fan of the Barca number 10 as he went on to voice his appreciation extensively while downplaying http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ronaldo-c31734 as an excellent player and a sportsman.
He asserted that the former Manchester United player needs to loosen up his pride a little bit as he is full of himself. He recalled observing that the footballer had allegedly called himself the best footballer in the world.
Consequently, he voiced that such a statement cannot be expected from Messi as he is a humble and modest individual. He suggested that if Messi was asked about the best footballer, he would give it to one of his teammates.
While admiring the Argentine international, he insisted that the athlete is from another world as his talent and skill is unmatched.
"Cristiano needs to come down to earth. The other day I heard he was asked who he'd give the award for best player in the world to, and he replied to himself. Messi was asked the same question and he said he'd give it to Iniesta, his team mate. That shows
just how modest he is,” the retired athlete told reporters.
"Messi is from another planet, he makes everything look easy", adding that "no other player has a chance of winning the Ballon d'Or. Cristiano is a brilliant player, but he has his work cut out with Messi. I'd choose Messi first, Iniesta second and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Cristiano-c9622
third (in the votes for the prize). I think he'll win it again," he concluded.
Denilson retired from professional football in 2010 after spending his last seasons constantly switching clubs.
