Sir Alex Ferguson shared his thoughts with the German media and did not miss the opportunity to praise his former protege Cristiano Ronaldo.
The era of the three-time best football player in the world began in 2003 when he was acquired by Manchester United from Sporting Lisbon. In 2009, C. Ronaldo and Man Utd parted ways, but at Real Madrid he became an even brighter star - scoring 364 goals in 348 games played.
A. Ferguson claims that from the very first days of C. Ronaldo in Manchester, his extraordinary dedication to football was evident. According to the former coach, the 31-year-old footballer is the greatest star of his generation.
"He has an incredible commitment to football, he anticipates every training session," - shared A. Ferguson with Bild. - Cristiano always wants to be better and win. He especially looks forward to big matches, like the European Championship final.
"During all his years in Manchester, I have not seen a more dedicated footballer than him. He constantly worked on his shots, their technique, improving the strength of his left and right legs, and everything else. His continuous improvement is something incredible. Football is currently very athletic, fast, and that's exactly how Ronaldo is.
"Usually top-class players show their best form for five or six years, but Ronaldo has been doing it for 10 years. That's why he is so special. Every football generation has a special player, and Ronaldo is that player for this generation," - added A. Ferguson.
