Testimonials
ZICO
“In football, there are strikers who can dribble at speed and others who are renowned for the incisiveness of their runs. Ronaldo is perhaps unique in that he is a great player who can make incisive runs with the ball at great speed.”
ADRIANO
“Ronaldo is like a brother to me. When I arrived in Italy he helped me so much, he welcomed me with open arms into his home. I’ll never forget this.”
ROBERTO CARLOS
“I first met Ronaldo when we were with the Seleção in 1995. He was still a boy but he had already been to the World Cup. That was always the way with him. He’s very talented, very dedicated and has a great personality. All of this helps to make him a winner in football. Only a man with his temperament could have overcome so many obstacles. We experienced lots of joys and some disappointments with the Seleção, and from 2002 [until 2007] we played for the same club, so we are now closer than ever.”
BORA MILUTINOVIC
“If I could choose players from other national teams to strengthen my side, the first one I would pick is Ronaldo, who, in my opinion, is a fantastic talent who can change any match and win a game single-handedly.”
FRANZ BECKENBAUER
”It’s not possible to stop a player like Ronaldo for 90 minutes.”
ROBINHO
“I was already an admirer when I was called up into the Seleção. I felt that he was a cool guy, who despite such a great reputation, has remained very down-to-earth. He helped me a lot at the start of my international career and continued to help me here at Real Madrid.”
CICINHO
“As well as being a great player, Ronaldo is a modest guy who always helps others. I’m a newcomer to the Seleção and Real Madrid, and he has acted as a mentor. He has been very important for me.”
LILIAN THURAM
“He is a true genius.”
