Cristiano Ronaldo has once again spoken out on his own performance over the Ballon d’Or and the Fifa Player of the year award, describing himself as the best player in the world.
Despite recognising the abilities of other players, Cristiano Ronaldo rated himself as the only true contender for the individual honours in a joke which he made in an interview with Sao Paulo-based paper O Estado:
“I am the first, the second and the third best player in the world. But there are other good candidates like Kaka, Messi and Fernando Torres,” Ronaldo said.
“I think I did everything that is necessary to win and I want to continue doing even more.
“My aim is to win everything that is front of me,” he went on to state.
The Star winger has already hit 101 goals in 253 appearances for Manchester United and his breathtaking performance last season earned him a multitude of domestic awards, as well as international honours such as the European Footballer of the Year and the FIFPro World Best Player of the Year Awards.

The transfer window is about to reopen in less than two months, but the war between Fergie and Franco’s Madrid – which everyone was expecting – is finally no more.
Manchester United succeeded in keeping their talismanic number 7 ace at the club, Calderon finally gave up his chase, and Cristiano Ronaldo took his own and ultimate decision of staying with the European Champions.
It took quite a long while for Ronaldo to decide whether or not he was going to quit England, and at a point in July, it really seemed like he was heading towards the Spanish capital; Ronaldo went as far as buying a house in Madrid as well as signing a secret agreement with the Spanish Giants according to reports.

The current financial crisis is a global thing that has made people more conscious about their money spending. Well, one man who should be able to spend a whole lot of money without worrying about his economies is Cristiano Ronaldo.
The Manchester Untied winger will soon benefit of a salary rise in the summer if he indeed decides to remain with the Reds.
This news has undoubtedly provoked intensive debates. After accusations from the public describing Ronaldo as an arrogant footballer, come accusations portraying him as greedy young man.
A majority of people have expressed their anger towards the fact that Ronaldo is considering a rise of payment whereas the financial crisis is an apparent fact in Europe. Read more

Henry Thierry
Cristiano Ronaldo’s idol, Thierry Henry has once again spoken out his admiration for his Barcelona club mate Lionel Messi.
Speaking to the media, the French man argued over who really deserves the Ballon d’Or, which will be handed in three weeks time. Henry described Messi as a footballer that plays like ‘someone from another world’ and added that the young Argentine was incomparable to Manchester United’s Cristiano Ronaldo.
The former Arsenal captain said he watched last weekend’s big clash involving the Reds and the Gunners, which made him maintain his decision on who is better between Read more

Injury kept Ronaldo from playing at the start of this season, in which Manchester United struggled to find their way through.
Ronaldo made his first appearance against Villareal as a substitute this season in a game that ended goalless. Manchester United never lost a game since Ronaldo’s return and ironically, he scored the Reds’ first goal in what was Manchester United second only victory; that was against Middlesbrough in the Carling Cup.
The momentum went on; Manchester United enjoyed a run of 12 matches unbeaten since their last defeat away to Liverpool back in September. Read more

‘Perfect Man’ Lionel Messi shocked the public after cameras spotted him spitting at Malaga’s goalkeeper in Barcelona’s recent game in the Spanish La Liga.
Now, it’s Cristiano Ronaldo – often described as a bad boy – who had a bad attitude.
During Manchester United’s game away to Celtic, Giggs’ late equalizer wasn’t the only thing that made the headlines.
Behind the highlights of the game, was Ronaldo’s misconduct towards Celtic’s Scott Brown. In addition to Brown’s regret as regards to his side’s inability to hang on with the 1-0 score line, the defender also feels sour bitterness in his mouth.
Ronaldo appeared to have shamefully kicked Brown on the touchline in front of the linesman. No red card, not even a yellow was shown to Ronaldo for his reckless behaviour!
Addressing himself to the media, Scott Brown poured out his anger, stating that there was no reason why referees should give a special treatment to Ronaldo.
Certainly, the linesman got his decision wrong on Wednesday night, but overall, is Ronaldo really treated in a different way that favours him unjustly?
Well, back to Ronaldo’s violent conduct against Scott Brown, there’s a feeling that Ronaldo is effectively becoming arrogant as some suggest, or perhaps it is just a matter of self-control…
Whichever way it is, fans of the Portuguese Star will hope that this incident will not go against their beloved player.
Fact: it has recently been reported – on Thursday precisely – that Messi is now the favourite to win the Fifa Player of the Year Award in January.
