*Cristiano Ronaldo's explosive interview with Piers Morgan*

*Cristiano Ronaldo's explosive interview with Piers Morgan* Cristiano Ronaldo on Ole Gunnar Solskjær: "I love Solskjær. I think he was a top person, because what I keep inside my heart, it's the heart of the persons. And Ole for me, is a top person. It's hard to assume [the role] after Sir Alex Ferguson, but I think he did a good job." "You (Solskjær) need much more time. But I'm never doubt that you're going to be a good coach in the future. But it was a good experience. I was, I was so pleased to work with him (Solskjær) even for a short period." Cristiano Ronaldo on Ralf Rangnick: "Of course, I respect, we have to call [him boss] because he assumed the job regardless - all the coaches that I had in my career, I call them boss because if they assume the job we have to call in that way." "In the end, deep inside me, I never saw him [Rangnick] as the boss because I saw some points that I never agreed [with]." "When you sack Ole Gunnar Solskjær, you should bring a top manager, not a sports director." "It's something that I don't understand. It's the new coaches that are coming around, they think they find the last Coca Cola in the desert, which is I don't understand the football that invents many, many years." “I respect any coach, every different approach, different opinions, different mentality, but kind of some points that you're not agree [with]." Cristiano Ronaldo on Managers he has worked with: "I've always been, besides the best coaches in the world: Zidane and Ancelotti, Mourinho, Fernando Santos, Allegri… so I have kind of, some experience because I learn from them." "When you see some coaches that are coming, they want the revolution [in] the football, I don’t agree, I have my opinion. They agree or they don't - but it's part of the business because at the end of the day, I'm in a club to win." Cristiano Ronaldo on his personality: "I’m not the kind of guy who likes to give advice as I prefer to be an example. I'm there every morning and do the same stuff. I'm probably the first one to arrive and the last one to go out. I think the details speak for itself." "I care for the people who like me. I'm not wasting time, for the people who don't like me. I think it's a waste of time, these people are not interesting in my life." Cristiano Ronaldo after his son’s passing: "I received a letter from the Queen’s family, and that surprised me a lot. This is why I say I respect a lot, the English community, English people, because they've been very kind with me." Cristiano Ronaldo on Diogo Dalot: “Dalot is young, very professional, and I don't doubt that he's gonna have longevity in football." Cristiano Ronaldo on young players: “They live in a different era, mentality is not the same. They get things more easily, they don’t suffer. Not only with Man Utd, but all teams. We can’t blame them, it’s part of the new generation.” Cristiano Ronaldo on the media: “I don’t like to read because 99% of the time they are lies (rumours about him). The press are garbage, not all of them but most of them.” “I think it’s easy to point out Cristiano Ronaldo. They want to put me in the front page because they know they will sell more. I appreciate bad moments to see who is on your side, who will criticise you more.” Cristiano Ronaldo on a move to Man City: “Honestly, it was close. They spoke a lot, Guardiola said they tried hard to have me. But my history at Man Utd and my heart made the difference. And of course, Sir Alex Ferguson. My heart spoke loud in that moment.” Cristiano Ronaldo on Rooney: “It was six months ago in my house and he picked up his kids and invited Cristiano (Junior) to go to his house to play football. I really don’t understand people like that, whether they want to be in the cover of the news.” Cristiano Ronaldo on being the most followed person on social media: “I feel proud for that. It means a lot. It means people like me. Why am I the number one? Why me? Sometimes I ask myself that. I think being good looking also helps.” Ronaldo on overtaking Lionel Messi’s kit sales record when he returned: “Of course I do [feel happy]. I don’t follow records, the records follow me.” Ronaldo on senior players: “I remember when I was 18, 19, 20, I always looked to see the best players - van Nistelrooy, Ferdinand, Roy Keane, and Giggs. This is why I have the success that I have and longevity.” Ronaldo on Roy Keane: “Roy Keane, for me, was my best captain. Rio Ferdinand helped me a lot, he was my neighbour.” Cristiano Ronaldo on why he’s doing this interview: “Because it’s the right time to say something, and because I like you [Piers].” [@PiersUncensored] #mufc
