Russian national team striker Fedor Smolov stated that he is not impressed by the achievements of Portugal's representative Cristiano Ronaldo in football.
Today these two teams will meet in a very important match of the Confederations Cup Group A, where some questions may be answered before the knockout stages.
"It's difficult to build a team when there is such a individually strong player like Cristiano, because everything needs to revolve around him.
I haven't thought much about comparisons with C.Ronaldo, but I don't think they are fair.
Tough matches await us, we have our goals, and the Portuguese have theirs.
After the match, there will be a line of players asking for his jersey, but I won't be among them," Smolov said.
The 27-year-old Russian, who achieved the highest point of his career (22 matches in the domestic league, 18 goals) in his homeland, is linked to Borussia Dortmund.
