Another prize, self-esteem a ball. Cristiano Ronaldo he goes to Dubai (amid the controversy of those who ask for quarantine on return) and takes home yet another trophy to be placed on a showcase already full of awards. The Juventus champion was awarded at the Globe Soccer Awards nothing less than “Player of the century», Obviously referable to this first twenty years of the 2000s.
The sentence that Ronaldo gave to reporters after receiving the award is valid as a philosophy of life.
“I’m not chasing records, they’re chasing me.” But then he finds a bit of humility again, becomes serious and explains. «Without my teammates, without a great team next to me, I would never have achieved all these records and these awards. Today I’m 36, but I still like football a lot. I love my life, my job and my family ».
In reality, Cristiano closed a 2020 with the victory of the Scudetto – two out of two since he has been in Italy – but also with the main goal – la Champions League – vanished once again, for a team – the Bianconeri – that has been chasing him for twenty-four years, since Vialli and Del Piero’s Juve won him in 1996. However, these years that have always lived on the crest of the wave play in his favor. alongside his eternal rival, that Leo Messi who was left with a dry mouth and who until the end was convinced of winning. And instead the Portuguese – winner of 5 Golden Balls and 5 Champions League – for eighteen years now he has done nothing but win, improve, always move the bar a little further.
Speaking of the bubble that football is forced into in the era marked by the pandemic, Cristiano Ronaldo explained: «Playing in an empty stadium is boring. We respect the protocols because health is important, but it’s really bizarre to go out without fans. I like to hear the applause, but also when the opposing fans contest and criticize me. The buu I get after scoring a goal to other teams motivate me a lot. So I hope that in 2021 we can return to see people in stadiums again. And with Portugal we can win the European Championship ».
