| Pele |
It is happy to see that
success doesn't change his character. He's modest, close to family, and he seldom say
anything bad about anybody. No matter how tight you mark him, it's impossible to
intimidate Ronaldo. I'm his no.1 fan as a Brazilian. but you can compare him to me only
after he has won the world cup. |
| Giovanni |
He is the best goalscorer in
the world. It was a pleasure to play with him. He is cutie, never stop smiling. Success
will never go to his head |
| Zagallo |
He is the worthy successor
to Pele. He is already the best forward in the world and will get better and better. His
speed is incredible. He will rewrite the history books of football. |
| Bobby Robson |
You can't find a player like
Ronaldo in anywhere in the world. He is so sensational that he know when to shoot or pass.
He can also drop back 40 yards, win the ball and go off on runs taking on whole
defenses on his own. But he is intelligent enough to work with others too, |
| Linekar |
Ronaldo's speed with the
ball is something I've not seen before. He can score goals from nothing with this talent. |
| Cesar Gomez |
Marking Ronaldo is the most
difficult job I've done in my life. It's like that I've played for a 500 minutes game. |
| Zubizarreta |
Ronaldo can turns every
condition into a goalscoring situation all on his own. He creates his goals out of
nothing. |
| Valdano |
He is like a player with a
Ferrari engine programmed to score. He's so calculating, so overwhelming powerful and so
capable of winning games on his own. If he really is a Brazilian, then Brazil is a place
for Martian. |
| Laurent Blanc |
He is as uncontrollable as a
ping-pong ball |
| Raul |
I try to learn from Ronaldo.
His explosiveness action that enable him to get rid of defenders so easily is the thing
that most impressed me. I'm simply not on his level |
| Shearer |
Ronaldo is best all-rounded.
God only knows what he can achieve in the next few years. |
