The young defender of "Schalke" from Gelsenkirchen not only compliments the Madrid "Real" club, but also its players.

The 20-year-old admires the forward Cristiano Ronaldo and claims that he rightfully became the best football player of 2013.

"Who doesn't love Cristiano Ronaldo?" - J. Draxler spoke to "Der Westen" newspaper.

"He is currently the best in the world and why shouldn't I love him? Cristiano is a world-class player, he stands out in some way.

I like his ambition, will. He won the "Golden Ball" for the first time in 2008, and since then he has not stopped and has received this award again," - the defender did not spare good words for the Portuguese.
