Madrid leader Cristiano Ronaldo stated that the best football players in the world are assembled in the Spanish team, which forces him to improve himself.
The Portuguese arrived at the "Royal" club in July 2009 for a record amount of more than 90 million euros from "Man Utd."
"In this team, we have the best players in the world. That's why I am happy and can improve. I always want to learn something new, and 'Real' guarantees that for me," said C.Ronaldo.
"I think all professional footballers are talented, but only through hard work can one become a great player. I always do that. I want to prove what I can do, not only in matches but also in training. After all, I always wanted to play for the Portugal national team, as it was represented by players I liked."
Previously, C.Ronaldo was heavily criticized for excessive playacting and simulation: "I am sure that I used to do things on the field that I no longer do because of age or experience. I am growing and improving."
