The 44-year-old Brazilian gave a lengthy interview to the main sports medium in Italy, where he talked about Lukaku, Cristiano, Dybala, Lautaro and of course Hakimi.
The former Brazilian player, Ronaldo Nazario, believed that Real Madrid “made a mistake” in selling the past summer market to Moroccan Achraf Hakimi Inter Milan for 45 million euros and defined the Interista winger as an “extraordinary” player.
“Inter signed an extraordinary player and Madrid made a mistake to lose Achraf like that. Every now and then I think, ‘Ronnie, imagine you and Hakimi, we would go very quickly …’ I dare say that he one of the best Inter-signings in the last ten years “, Ronaldo, doubly “former” of Inter and Real Madrid, said in an interview published Saturday by “La Gazzetta dello Sport”.
The 44-year-old Brazilian left an unforgettable mark on Inter, with whom he won the 1998 UEFA Cup, and in 2002 signed for Real Madrid from the ‘Galacticos’, with whom he has a League, an Intercontinental Cup and a Spanish Super Cup.
He spoke on the eve of the Italian Derby between the below and Juventus, and he surrendered to the Portuguese Cristiano Ronaldo, Juventine leader, and the Belgian Romelu Lukaku, Interista forward.
“As a kilogram, Lukaku weighs more (in the field). They are very different, and have one thing in common. When you have players like them, it’s hard for you not to lean on them. Especially one like Lukaku,” said he.
“I don’t know if Cristiano will keep playing at 40, but I’m sure he will try. He’s a different player than when I saw him in Madrid, he’s learned to handle his body and yet there is. one thing that stays the same. He can be a little protagonist for almost an entire game and then decide in a minute that it can hurt you, “he added.
“They have always loved important games because they are the ones that are most remembered. Like their records, they interest them. They say they are obsessed, but to me they are their gasoline,” he concluded.
He also expressed his appreciation for the Argentinian Lautaro Martínez: “I like him because he is not afraid of anything, because he is determined when he plays. If you get distracted, he will not forgive you. Because he shoots well, he has a scoring nose, a pure striker, with eyes forward. “
And about the Argentinian Juventine Paulo Dybala said, “Um, I saw him in the right form, he wanted to invent. And that high heel for Chiesa, against Milan, seemed like a sign. It’s a shame. When Dybala plays, it’s easier to get a good see football “.
Regarding Andrea Pirlo, with whom he measured himself during his playing career and who currently coaches Juventus, in his first experience on the bench, Ronaldo believed it to be a person with “superior football intelligence”.
“I saw him on the field, up close. He had superior football intelligence and that doesn’t change just because you go to the bench. He will never propose a banal game and the team has to follow him. He will need some time, but Juventus bet on Andrea and I think he’ll give it to you, ”he said.
