The former Real Madrid striker has stated that the Portuguese international’s determination and humbleness is what has made him capable of being the very best.
Rafa Maranon has insisted that Real Madrid forward http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Cristiano-Ronaldo-c9629 is not what the media has portrayed him to be, and has instead stated that the Madrid forward is a very humble character.
Maranon is a former Real player and striker and also played his trade with La Liga side Espanyol.
The former Espanyol player also highlighted the example of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ronaldo-c31734 and was of the opinion that every player cannot make the biggest of impacts, despite possessing the talents.
He also noted that all the players do not possess the character to make the jump to the first team from youth tanks and to do that, one must be determined, humble and stubborn, like http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Cristiano-c9622 Ronaldo.
“I argue that if you put all http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/U-17-Youth-team-c40787 players in the first team then you end up with a B team,”
Maranon also was of the say that Lionel Messi’s simplicity makes him an even dangerous player.
Maranon himself was a more than decent striker and managed 111 goals for Espanyol in his nine year spell at the club.
The former Real man graduated for Madrid’s youth academy.
The striker claimed that Ronaldo might look flashy, but he is a stubborn fellow and that character has helped him a lot in gaining recognition all across the globe.
“I am convinced, because he comes from a humble background and has worked hard to get to where he is today.”
“And Cristiano is much criticised for his flashes of bravado, but I do not believe that he is arrogant, but rather stubborn and shy, employing this mechanism as a defence.”
Ronaldo has often been criticized for his attitude problems by the media and several of his actions have been brought under the light.
Rafa however sees nothing of that sort in the Portuguese ace and is adamant that Cristiano is one of the best players in the world, and that success is achieved via stubbornness and is more down to his attitude and seriousness.
