Cristiano Ronaldo (40, Al Nasr) declared himself the greatest player of all time (GOAT).
"I think I am the most perfect soccer player that has ever existed," Ronaldo said in a recent interview with La Sesta. "I use all the skills needed in soccer to the best of my ability. He is good at headers, set pieces, and left feet. He is fast and physically good. He can even jump high."
Ronaldo dismissed other players who were mentioned in the GOAT debate as his preference. "People may have different tastes. They may prefer Lionel Messi, Pele, Diego Maradona, etc. I respect them," Ronaldo said. "It is false to say that they are not perfect for me. I am the most perfect player, and I have never seen a better player than me."
Ronaldo is the first goal scorer in the history of soccer to reach 1,000 goals in his career. Since his debut in the professional league with Sporting CP in 2003, he has maintained his top-notch skills for more than 20 years. He has scored 925 goals in both his club and national team career.
Ronaldo has continued to make history by making big league appearances including 450 goals for Real Madrid (Spain), 145 goals for Manchester United (England), and 101 goals for Juventus (Italy). After leaving Europe, he added 89 goals for Saudi Arabia's Al Nasr.
The Korean national team is also currently making progress in scoring goals. Ronaldo, who is still in charge of Portugal's front line, has scored 135 goals in 217 A-match games. Last year, he played 12 A-match games and scored seven goals, showing strong performance as a mainstay.
Ronaldo, who has surpassed the 900-goal mark, is proud of himself for challenging 1,000 goals. After scoring his 900th goal in a match against Croatia in September last year, Ronaldo stresses that he is the best.
He even targeted Pele, the soccer emperor, when he scored more than 900 goals. FIFA said Pele has scored 1,281 goals. However, it is unclear as some of Pele's goals are hard to confirm. For this reason, some analysts say that Pele only scored 762 goals when excluding unofficial matches.
Ronaldo once elevated himself as if conscious of Pele, saying, "All of my goals remain in the video. The biggest difference from other players."
Of course, Ronaldo's record has a way to go in the history of soccer. However, the public opinion is that Ronaldo is not strong enough to be recognized as a GOAT, unlike his confidence. Ronaldo has not been able to overcome Messi, his rival. During his heyday, he competed with Messi for the most awards at the Ballon d'Or for more than 10 years, and Messi won eight awards and he won five awards, which widened the gap. In addition, Ronaldo is called the world's No. 2 man who failed to surpass Messi because of the difference in whether he had won the World Cup or not.
Ronaldo has failed to dominate the competition, which is comparable to other GoAT players such as Messi, Pele, Maradona, and Johan Cruyff. The response is no good as Ronaldo declared himself the best. Jamie Carragher from Liverpool said, "I'm embarrassed. Ronaldo is definitely a great player. You don't have to say that all the time."
Former teammate of Ronaldo, Karim Benzema (Al-Etihad), also said, "Anyone can say whatever they want. Ronaldo made the comment as he thought he was the best," adding, "That's not true for me. I prefer Ronaldo from Brazil." Ronaldo, who received support from Benzema, also dismissed Ronaldo's opinion, saying, "I think I'm too proud." 온라인바카라
Neymar (Santus) has taken a step further. According to the soccer channel Bee Football, Neymar, who appeared on a recent podcast, did not even answer when asked what he thought of Ronaldo, who claimed to be a GOAT, saying, "Next question."
