00:00I always feel bad because people have a go at me because they say, oh, you don't like Ronaldo.
00:04It's not that I don't like Ronaldo. I absolutely think he's an incredible footballer.
00:09But you can't, there's no argument about who is the better footballer.
00:14They're just, anyone that understands the game will see that.
00:18But I've got so much admiration for Cristiano because he's, you know, he's so driven and his career has been
00:26so successful
00:27and he's scored so many goals. He's brilliant.
00:30And in many eras, he would, you know, he'd be the best player of his time.
00:35But the fact that he's actually put in the same breath and lots of people do make the comparison
00:43is a huge compliment to him, really, of what he's achieved because he hasn't got the ability that Messi has.
00:50No one has. But it's not an insult to Ronaldo to say that.
00:55Do people get annoyed about that?
00:56Ronaldo fans, yeah.
00:58And Ronaldo gets annoyed. You know, he doesn't speak to me anymore.
01:02Really?
01:03No, he used to be, you know, he used to get on all right.
01:05And then suddenly, you know, I was interviewed or something and said, you know, who's the better player?
01:10Well, Messi. And then he doesn't like you anymore then.
01:14You know, he doesn't like you anymore.
01:14And he's like, oh, he's like, oh, you know, you know, you know, you have to talk to him.
