View Photo »The Premier League is more competitive than La Liga ... In Spain, football is more technical, the players like to control the ball, they play more football.
Ronaldo was a fantastic player. Three times the FIFA World Player of the Year, he was also a world champion in 1994 and 2002, and took part in four FIFA World Cup finals in all, becoming the competition’s highest scorer of all time in the process
I have accepted this big challenge, which for me is a big honour ... This World Cup does not belong to FIFA, nor to the (Brazilian federation), the committee or the government. It belongs to the people who should be made to feel proud of hosting the World Cup. I will do my best to create the best World ...
We are very pleased that Ronaldo has agreed to join the team and play his part in making the 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil a success. He will have a very important contribution to make in what will be his fifth world finals, albeit off the pitch this time. We wish him very well in his new job.

It belongs to the people who should be made to feel proud of hosting the World Cup. I will do my best to create the best World ...
Ronaldo will be the organisation's strongman, the voice and image of the 2014 Cup along with the city venues, governments and FIFA
I'm really proud and will give my best to help create the best World Cup there has ever been
Ronaldo will be the organisation's strongman, the voice and image of the 2014 Cup along with the city venues, (federal, state and city) governments and FIFA
I don’t know anything about that, there hasn’t been anything, I’m surprised by all this speculation
I approve and I believe that he can do a great job. There are so many people that are linked with football and that are not athletes, they do not understand much. Ronaldo has his business, so he knows how to administrate. He will become a better leader with time and experience
I don't know anything about that, there hasn't been anything ... I'm surprised by all this speculation.
Cristiano Ronaldo is very fast and is excellent at dribbling the ball. His technique is good and he is a great shot. He is having a great moment. Technical capacity isn't what matters most about a player; his life and psychological strength sometimes influence him the most. You can tell Ronaldo is fine....
He is in a period where he shows it is natural for him to score goals, when you are not desperate for goals you score ... Hopefully we can keep him going, he is one of the top, top, top in the world at the moment. I think you have to compare him with players playing in his period. We have [Lionel] Messi...
He's one of the world's most in-form players ... I'd put him on a par Messi and Ronaldo. But the one thing with playing Arsenal is you do get the chance to play football. They're not the sort of team to try to steamroller you, they do give you a chance.
Van Persie is a fantastic player, not just because he’s scoring lots of goals, but because of the quality he has. The run he’s on at the moment is something special. He is one of the most in-form players in Europe, if not the world, and not far behind Messi and Ronaldo. I’d put him on a par [with them] ...
I’ve always been inspired by Brazilians ... Principally those who played for Barcelona, like Romario, Ronaldo and Rivaldo, who I played alongside. Brazilian football has always been an example for everybody.
Ronaldo was the first to speak on behalf of Real Madrid, after envoys came and the pressures were too great, the money being offered to the player was monstrous and the more I said no, the greater the appetite
Everyone coming to a club from abroad, some can do it quickly but others gradually grow into the club and I think Nani's one of those, I think even Cristiano [Ronaldo] took two or three years to get a maturity in his game and that's what we're seeing with Nani now.
I don’t think there is a hotter striker in Europe at the moment ... He is up there with Messi and Ronaldo, he is a great player and a great captain. The guy is so talented and he is showing it every week. It is amazing to see him doing all that but he deserves it because he has had problems before with ...
I think he’s always had that potential. Everyone coming to a club from abroad, some can do it quickly but others gradually grow into the club and I think Nani’s one of those ... I think even Cristiano [Ronaldo] took two or three years to get a maturity in his game and that’s what we’re seeing with Nani ...
Even Christano (Ronaldo) took two or three years just to get the maturity in his game. That's what we're seeing in Nani now.
