Portugal captain Cristiano Ronaldo is a free agent after leaving the Red Devils, but potential nitpicks have been warned about his ego by former Nigerian footballer John Obi Mikel.
What did Mike say about Ronaldo?
Cristiano Ronaldo is one of the greatest talents to ever play the game, but questions are being asked about his character after the striker saw a lucrative Old Trafford contract ripped out on the back of an explosive interview with Morgan. The five-time Ballon d’Or winner criticized several prominent figures during that discussion, and John Obi Mikel – who has seen his former employers in the Blues linked to the iconic striker – is not convinced Cristiano Ronaldo is worth the trouble the player continues to cause.
The former Nigerian player said he was never a fan of Cristiano Ronaldo, in fact. According to John Obi Mikel, for him, when a player has so much ego, they don’t really understand it. The Nigerian says that Ronaldo has never been one of his favorite players and that’s why he always goes for Messi in fact.
“I mean, if someone goes out and does an interview like that, what makes you think if he signs up for your club in January, he won’t do the same?” he said. So, John means, every club will know about it… but listen, he’s Ronaldo, the Nigerian thinks Cristiano Ronaldo is one of the greatest players to ever play the game.
He thinks that in January the Portuguese will get another club and continue his football career. But for Mikel it’s just a terrible script, he’s done so much for the club and it’s just awful to end it. According to the former player, on the part of Cristiano Ronaldo in fact, he would have said that the interview should not have been done, the wrong time as well. John Obi Mikel thinks it’s just not right and it doesn’t look right for a player who has achieved so much in the game.
