Wenger wants Cristiano Ronaldo to be less fixated on personal achievements

 
Arsenal manager, Arsene Wenger
has implored Real Madrid striker, Cristiano Ronaldo to be less fixated on his personal achievements. The Frenchman’s advice came on the heels of Cristiano
Ronaldo’s recent claim that he is better than his Barcelona nemesis, Lionel
Messi.  The 63 year-old coach  believes that Ronaldo’s obsession with individual
accolades could ruin his career.

He told reporters, “He is the best player in the
world – with Messi. Messi has a little advantage on assists. But I would go for
nobody because it is not my problem at the moment. I’ve seen careers being
destroyed because players are too obsessed with individual rewards. I can tell
you that maybe another day but it encourages selfishness. And it encourages
people inside the game to go more for their own gain when others are in a
better position. You can be No.1 in the world in March and no.250 in May. Sport
is always moving.”

He told Daily Mirror shortly after winning his fourth European Golden shoe yesterday,“Logically, I have a contract until I am 33 and – as I have said a number of times – my dream is to finish here with Real Madrid. If you take care of yourself you can play until you are 40. I want to keep going for another five or six years.

“I am settled here, I’m useful here and I want to continue at the club. I want to win and I am at the best club in the world. I’m not satisfied yet – I always want more. Real Madrid have to win silverware every season and this year is no different. We want to win the league, the Champions League, the cup – everything.”‎

Cristiano Ronaldo receives fourth golden boot award.

Real Madrid star, Cristiano Ronaldo has become the only player in history to receive the European golden boot award four times. The 30 year-old received the gong today after becoming the highest  scorer in Europe’s domestic leagues last season.
Real Madrid President Florentino Perez lauded the Portuguese footballer for the achievement.  

“This award goes back to show that we have a unique and exceptional player in Cristiano Ronaldo. He is the only player in history to win the Golden Shoe four times. A few days ago he became Real Madrid’s [joint] all-time leading goalscorer and now Cristiano is picking up his fourth Golden Shoe.

“It is an honour to have him at our club. Cristiano Ronaldo came to Real Madrid to win all that he has won and now he wants more. There is something special about him. Despite winning so many trophies, he always wants more and never gets complacent. Thank you Cristiano Ronaldo, on behalf of all Madridistas, for all you have given us and for all you will give us.”

Ronaldo is driven by Messi rivalry.- Zidane

Real Madrid legend, Zinedine Zidane has claimed that Lionel Messi rivalry motivates Cristiano Ronaldo . The ex French international added that the current world best player is  driven by the desire to get more goals than his nemesis.

‘Fifty to 55 goals per season is just not human. But you should see him at training. At training, he’s a guy who every ball, every match, every corner… he wants to score, he wants to win. And when he scores he does the same thing he does in a match. He’s happy and he falls to his knees to celebrate… it’s incredible.

The ex Juventus player continued, ‘There’s a feature in all of that and it’s that there’s another player opposite who pushes him. That’s to say the rivalry he has with Messi. He doesn’t need that to perform. But what keeps him scoring 55 to 60 goals a season is the fact that he says to himself: This year I have to score one more than the other guy every time.’

"Gareth Bale and Ronaldo are complete opposites."

Gareth Bale’s agent, Jonathan Barnett has claimed that his client and Cristiano Ronaldo do not have any problem with each other despite wide speculation that they hate each other.‎ Barnett admitted that albeit the pair are complete opposites, they don’t harbour any resentment towards each other.

‎He told the Guardian. “They don’t go out eating every night together, but it’s fine. There’s no hatred there. Gareth is a quiet guy. They’re complete opposites.‎ But I think Gareth can learn a little bit from Ronaldo as well, interacting maybe a little bit. He has some very good endorsements but his whole life is to be the best footballer in the world.

“I don’t think he wants to be the best model in the world or the best underwear seller. That’s not him.”

He added: “I think that the new guard is coming and there’s some resentment, perhaps, to that. But I think things will change. I’ve always said it, I think he’ll be the best player in the world in the next couple of years.”


Why do I see the ‘best model and underwear seller’ part as a subtle sub (insult)?

The prolific ex striker in an interview with NDTV Sports said Ronaldo plays forward and tries to score, while Messi can do everything he wants.
“It is very ‎difficult to make a comparison ‎of players of different ‎generations. But in last 10 ‎years Messi was ‎the best. Ronaldo ‎plays forward and tries to score, while Messi ‎plays with‎ a ‎different style. In my team I would love to have both… We have ‎Neymar who also has good future.” The football icon explained‎
