Ronaldo makes revelation and ‘warns’ Real Madrid: “Mbappé doesn’t know how to play as a forward”
CR7, about to turn 40, confesses that his son Mateo loves watching the Spanish team play
About to turn 40 this Wednesday, Cristiano Ronaldo shows no signs of slowing down in his quest to score a thousand goals. Well on the move, with over 920 goals already scored, he gave an interview to the Spaniard Edu Aguirre, also his friend, which will be broadcast in full on Tuesday night. In an excerpt already released, he spoke naturally about Real Madrid and Kylian Mbappé ‘s adaptation .
“Take care of him, take care of him. I say this to the Real Madrid fans… Take care of the kid,” he warned fans.
Aguirre reminds him that Mbappé is a big fan of his – there are well-known photos of a young Kylian with CR posters in his room, and also of the two of them together: «I like him a lot, and not just because of the story that when I was young I adored Cristiano Ronaldo and he was my idol. But I really see him as a star and he will bring a lot of joy to Real Madrid».
And he also made a confession: “I watch the games from time to time because my son Mateo really likes Mbappé.”
Cristiano Ronaldo also gave his opinion on Mbappé’s position on the pitch in Ancelotti’s team: «The forward position makes things a bit more difficult, because he doesn’t know how to play as a forward in my opinion… It’s not that he doesn’t know how, but it’s not his position. If I were at Real Madrid, I would teach him to play as a number nine, because I wasn’t a forward. I got used to playing as a forward. I played on the wing and people forget. If I were him, I would play more or less like Cristiano plays as a forward», said CR7.
Ronaldo, now at Al Nassr , also recalled his famous competitive spirit: «I was always very competitive. I hated losing and I would cry. My neighbours would call me… ‘Cry’», he admitted.
