Champions Athletic-Juventus. "I am a success addict and I don't think it's a bad thing"

The Portuguese striker Cristiano Ronaldo considers himself “the number one” in football history, but to make it a more unanimous opinion, it is clear that he must have “seven or eight Golden Balls” to be “above” Leo Messi, while also confessing his "obsession to win and success" as a fundamental part to remain motivated.

“Messi is in the history of football, but I think I have to have six, seven or eight Golden Balls to be above him. I would love to earn more and I think I deserve it, ”said Cristiano in an interview with the British ITV network.

Madeira's insisted that his relationship with Rosario's, "a fantastic boy and football player", is not friendly. “We are not friends, but we have shared this scenario for 15 years. I know that he has pressed me to be a better player and that I have done the same with him, ”he admitted.

In the same interview, Cristiano is shown a video of his father and is moved to tears. "I had never seen it," he says.

“I’m sure that I’m in football history because of what I’ve done and what I’m doing, but as one of the best, for me the number, but for some fans, if the number one is another and I the second, I don't care, ”said the former Real Madrid player.

In this sense, he recognized that ambition to achieve records. “I don't follow the records, the records follow me. I'm a success addict and I don't think it's a bad thing, I think it's good because that motivates me. If you are not motivated, it is better to stop. I'm obsessed with winning, "he said, warning that" numbers don't lie. "

Therefore, the international does not neglect what is his "passion." “In the last 15 years I have always maintained the same level and the important thing is effort, dedication, hard work because talent is no longer enough. If you do not dedicate yourself one hundred percent you will not reach the level you want, ”he said,“ proud ”to listen to those who say he is the“ best ”.

In addition, Cristiano Ronaldo pointed to the Chilean two seasons ago in the Champions League against Juventus as his best goal. “I have 700 goals and this is my favorite, by far. Technically it is complicated to do it and I tried to mark it for many years. I never saw a Chilean goal like that, the way I jumped, against Buffon and Juventus, in the Champions League quarter, probably one of the best goals ever in football history, ”he said.
