Ronaldo’s aura is crazy, even though at the time Messi had just won 4 ballon dors in a row and everyone was worshiping him. You can just tell that Ronaldo 100% believes he’s the best and he carries himself that way. His mentality is Jordan like.
Nice.
messi had one superior season 2012 where he much very high. In all of the other seasons Messi and RONALDO were almost equal, the only reason RONALDO didn't win any balon d ors was because Real madrid went trophyless most of time, where barca won Laliga and UCL
💯🚫🧢
Ronaldo was outrageously good in the 2009/10 season. Most of the goals he scored were golazos. It was cut short by injury.
@@artfuldodger5247 nope wrong
he said im 27 i can still play 6-7 years .. watch him now 8 years later still banging in goals
Ronaldo at United was the best Ronaldo we saw. He had everything to his game. Scoring goals from 50 yards out. Scoring free kicks from 40 yards, beating players with quick feet and dribbling. Tracking back for the team and assisting his teammates in the box.......
John Abraham 2011-2012 ronaldo was the best version everything you just mentioned was what he was capable of , he scored bangers ,freekicks , solo goals , dribbling at high speed , absolutely beautiful crosses from a far distance , and scored 62 goals in that season and assisted 17
@@JohnAbraham-ft5go The best Ronaldo we ever saw was at Real.
@@JohnAbraham-ft5go real was the place were he established himself as one one of the greatest of all time. He was more entertaining in United but real was were he played his best football
Definitely.
With time he reduced the fancy skills and dribbling past too many players... but he became a more matured player and more decisive... if i wanna win big games ..the champions league nights.. i choose the ronaldo in his early 30s
That mentality... from 4-1 Down to Messi in terms of Balon D'or... in 2017... He made it 5-5... that is his Mentality ☺
Well it’s 6-5 so it’s irrelevant now
Now 5-6
But cr7 can still come back the next year
he would hv gone 6-5, modric robbed him
That's Michael jordan mentality unbelievable comeback
Lick me yeah coz he got robbed in 2018
He's so humble back then and so he's now...the pressure he faces ....criticism from media(one we are witnessing in video,they are one of those who did criticise him ruthlessly).....the hate he faces ....but he's a perfect example of hardwork and dedication.....most reliable player in bigger competitions....and does give importance to team than individual...love you Ronaldo I'm blessed to see you play.... I'll tell my kids he's greatest player I've witnessed....
The interviewer shat on him later??
@@zexelflame yeah maybe they did....7-8 years from now is a big gap.... somewhat they did
Cristiano will always be the Greatest Of All Time in my book
Always!
Absolutely.
Thats only your book . People will clown you for it 😂😂
Cristiano's English skills are underrated
Well, I'm 18 and speak english perfectly.
@@amertube7654 well, no one asked.
@@amertube7654 🤣🤣... I mean Ronaldo was not as privileged as us... He would started to hear English when he came to United and then learned there
He did live in England for 6 years so its not unexpected.
I live in Bosnia and speak english with almost fluent ametican accent
Ronaldo at 27: I would play for 6-7 years more.
Ronaldo at 33: I think I would play till I'm 40, 6-7 years more.
*To be continued*
🤣🤣🔥🔥
Tu OP h bro
Binod 🤣
He's 35 not 33
@@marnungsangimsong4619 You are right dude, but before 2018 world cup when he was 33, he said he's gonna continue playing till he is 40.

yea same, still watched it tho cause it cr7 lol
It said [2012]

This was 8 years ago. Cris hasn’t aged a day🤯
lol really i thought this was something new.
Ya for those who haven't watched this interview b4 like me would be confused at fist moment..
He has definitely aged. He looks absolutely amazing for his age today, but he has lost a significant amount of muscle in order to put less stress on his joints. His change in diet has resulted in subtle skin changes as well.
All that plastic surgery done him well
@we are liverpool this means more he done face surgerys to look like that like most celebrity and footballers do

yes
@Slavic Soldier he is the greatest in the modern era of real Madrid
Slavic Soldier I would disagree but I would understand why you could think that
Cr7 is the king with out any doubt. He has been number one in England. Spain, Italy and with national team. Not like Messi one team and he was great when xavi and Inesta helped him.if Messi is like Cr7 he has to move for new challenges not only complain and crying there😂😂😂😂
Slavic Soldier ronaldo is the greatest bro! He took real madrid where they deserve to be. Before ronaldo, real were a mid level team getting knocked out every time in top 16. 450 goals in 438 games. Di stefano might be close to 2nd but CR7 is the greatest real madrid player.
Always had that Elite mentality 🔥
Totally agree !! This guy is such an Elite
Agree
This guy never gave up
When messi was winning everything from 09-12 and the pundits had already declared Leo as the goat and no one thought that anyone can come close to messi
He had just one ballon d'or compared to 4 of messi
Just 1cl compared to 3 of messi
15 -20 less goals than messi in the cl
And he never gave up and kept on improving every season and just became unstoppable in the cl and surpassed messi in that competition
Won the euros for his country which again messi has never won anything for his country and made countless other records putting himself as the joint favourite for the goat conversation
So this is for his haters if you just take one thing from him
It's to never give up
Ronaldo never won euro for his country its a team sport and btw he did not even play the final
@@keavonjohnson4073 60% goal contribution 😂.Now shut up.Messi is a failure with argentina
@@peoplesgame1 60% goal contribution ok he still never won euro for portugal

SOME THINGS NEVER CHANGE
2012-CR7 BEST
2020-CR7 BEST
How about Lewandowski?
@@bastianbussenius4275
Yeah sorry
Lewa has done great this year. Respect!! Deserved for ballon'dor
Real M Lewandowski is great but in my opinion, what Neymar does for PSG is way more outstanding, Lewa is a goalscorer, Neymar is a goalscorer, assists giver, freekicks, penalties, dribbler, vision, he has skills, no weak foot, decisive, creativity, etc etc... the only advantage Lewa has is the QUANTITY of games, because Neymar was injured for almost half a season and they cancelled the league in France while Lewa kept playing in Germany... but in QUALITY, there’s nobody better than Neymar nowadays.
Of course, actually winning the “The best” award is gonna depend on who wins UCL, and Bayern is a MUCH better team, so probably Lewandowski will win it. But that doesn’t mean he’s actually better, he just played more games and he’s in a much better team. The only player who can actually be better than Neymar is Messi, but this season Neymar surpassed him
@@Usario321 Kylian will be greater in world football than Neymar. Ney should never have left Barca, he still had a big chance to become the best when he was at Barca.
@@bastianbussenius4275 he is good . But ronaldo didn't had quality team and manager like Bayern. After all that he has scored 48 goals and 8 assist this season with club and country
Even an 8 year old Ronaldo interview has more views than their regular videos
Wrestling Favourites its called social influence which nobody will have like Cristiano does
And he went on to win 4 CLs with Madrid 🐐
4 in 5 years. 3 in a row at the end
Yeah..4 titles in 5...years ..An impossible feat
I am surprised he gave ESPN an interview even in 2012 after all the negative things they have said about him.
It's like NaMod and NDTV
What they say?
They say all the negative things about him, but he is the only one that gives them any sort of viewership
He doesn't care
Frank Leboeuf exclusive with the man himself 😂😂😂
He’s the greatest player to ever play in the premiere league
You are mad!

@@bigboymatthew7471 Yea Henry was a beast
Are we gonna talk about how Sterling took the saying "The sky is the limit way too literally?"
😂🤣😂
FYI: THIS IS 8 YEARS AGO
Yeah.. it's mentioned
He actually said Laliga is more difficult than the Premier League (or at least back in 2010-2013) .... very interesting
@SaM - TheKing he was right at that time but not rn if id real madrid or Barcelona were in a league with all big clubs they wouldn't be in top four
@wazowski agreed
@SaM - TheKing la liga only has 9 winners tho. I’m not sure if Barca have dropped outside the top 2 in over a decade. It has 2 giants and that’s about it. 5 EPL teams have won the Champions league, only 2 La liga teams have.
La Liga plays the best brand of football in Europe. It's more tactical and skill oriented.
Nobody baloons the ball up in the air unless it's necessary. If you do so, you'll be seen as not technically sound.
Serie A also plays very organized tactical football.
EPL, I can't watch a typical Burnley vs Watford game 🤭🤭🤭🤭 So physical and unattractive to watch. 🤭🤭🤭
@@realtalkwithphil back then but not rn if your saying now then u aren't watching la liga bcz Barcelona aren't playing attractive football and so do real madrid and dont get me started on Athletico madrid epl and bundesliga is ahead in terms of attractive football
The Greatest Of All Time.
Wow, he himself said that he had around 5-7 years of professional career remaining in him in 2012. Its already now past the second half of 2020 and it still feels like he has another 4-5 years of professional career at the very top. It's so amazing that he has pushed himself beyond his own expectations.
That is my goat
Ronaldo looks young here
It’s from 2012 ahahah
Who else wanted him to retire at Real Madrid..
Respect from 🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩
Ronaldo regrets leaving Manchester United.......
@@JohnAbraham-ft5go why I'm sure he likes his 5 champions leagues over winning 1 Europe league in 8 years
@@multisaptak what a really dumb comment,if Ronaldo had stayed the team would continuously be build and rejuvenated around him
Loftus Blake no
he would never be the world's best if he didn't make that move in 2009....
One thing what i love ronaldo is his straight and honest talking.. he admits barca is the most important rival or that he thinks hes the best and he is
This was A great interview by Frank. What happened to him
He speaks much more fluently here
He became wayy more biased.
Dylanxinfinity yeah weird his English is better back then way smoother delivery
Cancer🙄
Ronaldo talking good about barca 😱
This was 8 years ago but I did get very confused when he said Barca were one of the best now then I saw the full title
He isn't a bitter person, he is the realest. Greatman.
Because that barca was really one of the best teams
lol i love how he doesn't answer some questions, just goes full on after game football rant
Greatness
When calling CR7 inferior is in your agenda through out the year but he gives you more views you know..🤔🤔🤣🤣
Ronaldo such a goat
Who is the best?
Like- Ronaldo
Comment- Higuain
Bruh, not gonna lie, you had me in the first half
Higuain has as many World Cup goals as Messi.
Higuain is better than Messi and Ronaldo combined
Goat
🐐
Aftr that he won 4 ballon dor, 4 champions league, 1 euro cup, 4 super cup, 4 club world cup, 1 laliga. 🐐🐐
Key word-JUSTICE🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️ you got robbed of that a couple times🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐
Hmmmm they robbed rubbery the one year and have the ballendor to ronaldo
What a good looking guy
As he said at 6:30 words can be misinterpreted.....the same has been throughout his career.
Brilliant man, best player to play the game
Mou's 11/12 was the best team of that year. We were just unlucky.
Hey there!!!
I'm gonna be honest with you I am a Messi "fanboy" ,and I think he is the best player ever to play the game. But if there's someone who I would really pick instead of Messi, it would be CR7. Idk about Pele or Maradona, for me he (and Messi obviously) are the best player. They had the best rivalry, greatest competition and for some reason s I want the Balon d'Or
to be named as Messi-Ronaldo trophy. Ahhh he's such a great player.
the problem with maradona ans pele i think football wasnt as complex as it is now or were their as many good players as thier r now ronaldo and mess r just better
Messi and Ronaldo are the best players of all time. Ronaldo is offensively the most complete player and Messi is individually the most talented and most skillful player ever. Hope it makes sense
Video about ronaldo.
Gotta talk about that washed up player, right?
No Messi has six ballendor it would be dishonorable to put Ronaldo's name on it aswell when Messi has the most in history
@@pi-one3793 yeah a washed up players who has 46 goals contribution in La Liga itself
And 57 in all competitions
And still is one of the best dribbler,playmaker and creates a ton of chances
Yeah washed up
Thank you CR7 you spoke very well
G.O.A.T 😍 😍
Quality interview! Cristiano is a top lad!
😍😍😍 Best video and person to wake up and see
Messi literally banged in 91 goals that year, 2012. ✅
And won nothing
Ayan 😂
One of the guys talking behind his back interviewing him normal for him🤣🤣🤣🤣
The day CR7 retires...
The World = 😢😢😢😢
He his really humble king cr7
Best player in history of fotball CR7👏🤛👍💪
Ronaldo and Messi have completely different playing abilities, a machine and an artist , that's why it's making fans go wild , loosing our minds to decide the better player meanwhile they are ageing and has very few years left to play at the elite level . All we will do is watch their past videos on CZcams , reminiscence of the moments they've celebrated , tears rolled down the cheeks and we're never ever gonna see a more competitive era like these two players , we can proudly say that we've witnessed MESSI vs RONALDO era ..... Enjoy the ending of this movie 😪😓😭
CRISTIANO is the 🐐. His mentality and personality put him in a different league of a much higher order.
Best player in the world Love ❤️❤️💙❤️💙❤️💙 from India ❤️♥️
🐐😍😍😍. The best ever, that’s why he has the most haters. God bless you Cristiano and give you more years of health and success and happiness!
Ronaldo please never retire
Why did I think this was a recent interview!!! And then I saw Frank
Ronaldo is class, people can hate all they like but the man is humbled when talking to people.
Cr7best of world forever
Let's be honest He is honest😁
Ain't no doubt bout that homie 👌🏻
My favourite player of all time. BEAST
Greatest of all time
I'm a Barca fan so obviously I'm more in the Messi "camp". But honestly this 8 year old interview made me sad. I miss those days when El Clasico were exciting to watch. People who didn't even watch La Liga would turn on their TV's to see Cristiano and Messi go head to head in a Clasico match. I miss those days. We were too busy whining about who's better that we didn't get to really appreciate both of them. Looking back now I realize how dumb it was (and still is) to not appreciate both of them. I'm not afraid to admit that I miss Cristiano in La Liga.
I was here not wrapping my head around him saying the Spanish league was the best and only 3 minutes in did I realize it was a 2012 interview. He still looks the same, always in awe of him
I feel sorry for Ronaldo. His mentality is bulletproof. But it also means he'll never be satisfied.
2012 was a beautiful year
When he said he doesn’t want to coach, that broke my heart
This interview is from 2012.
Back then Barcelona had Xavi, Iniesta, Messi in their prime.
Real Madrid had Cr7 and Morinho at his best.
So, I agree with Cristiano. Any other team would have finished 3rd behind these 2 teams in La Liga.
CR7 👑🇵🇹🔥💪✊🏾
For me you are the best striker ever!
The only player to score over 30 league goals in Premier league, Liga and Serie a in one season 🐐
the greatest ever
Manchester United's CR7 was just something else..An immature Kid who just wanted to play and enjoy his football..I really miss old times ..For me It was His man utd days that Made me love Football
11/12 Ronaldo was insane, he was a complete attacker back then, 60 goals, some of them absolute rockets.
I want that La Liga back 😢😢
My hero
What a player !!
If Ronaldo watched this now he would laugh at some of the things he said
The GOAT
He knows what he's saying,
Love from a messi fan
This was wholesome and rare
Ronaldo: “I’ll play another 6-7 years” .. Ronaldo 8 years later: *scores 30+ goals in the league*
Total 48 in this season for club and country
Fine man every time😁
Man does not age. Looks the same since his united days. 🐐
CR7: "i'm 27 and i can play for next 6-7 years."
Mans is going to be 36 in Feb and there is no slowing him down.
🐐💕💔🇵🇹 Ronaldo
G.O.A.T🐐
What he said I think you are best in the world he is not doubt
8 years ago people asking him what you gonna do after football.... and he's still breaking records.
Ronaldo looks like he may have aged 2-3 years tops since this interview; Frank looks like he's aged 20.
No. Frank looks the same today
Those who are slandering CR are normally the jealous ones because mostly the critics didn't achieve half of what he achieved, or they don't have the qualities CR has. now in 2022, looking back the past year, was so tough for CR, critics found more weak spot and media stepped in to pounce on him, it shows how heartless the world can be. This man is absolutely a legend! his mindset, his dedication, most importantly his humility and respect for coaches or people who guided him is superb yet media made him a guy who is arrogant to coaches, maybe for lousy Man U coach now , yes what kind of respect given? respect is earned not given. this interview shows CR as a very calm, focus , driven, positive and humble person!
The greatest goalscorer, the greatest winger, the greatest aerial player, the greatest leader, the greatest athlete, the greatest mentality, the most complete player, the most entertaining player, the most generous & unselfish player outside the picth, the best football player in the history, CR7 The king Goat 🔥
I was watching thinking that it was made today
Dude has not aged one bit🤯🤯🤯
Cristiano Ronaldo was always a goat
The goat cr7
After what Ronnie just said about the last Euro's I've stuck £10.000 on Portugal to win Euro 2016 🤞🤞🤞 I hope this boy goes far..In years to come they'll probably be massive arguments and debates worldwide about whose the best Ronnie or Messi..!!!
He speaks his mind. Obviously he did not have enough school time as he decided to be football bro.
such a good-looking man
Ronaldo is the 🐐
He still looks the same as now 💥
I'm a Messi fan but I respect Ronaldo alot. Idk why people compare them both. They are both 🐐 and legends.
He still looks the Same 🤩🤩
