Phenomenon Ronaldo's reference to Cristiano Ronaldo: 'I would only put him in the top 10'

Cristiano Ronaldo stated in a statement he made in recent months that he sees himself as the greatest player in football history. When asked about his opinion on the subject, former Brazilian footballer Ronaldo Nazario offered a different perspective.

Ronaldo made a direct reference to Cristiano Ronaldo, saying, "I don't like to get into these kinds of topics, but people's self-confidence is really high... I prefer people to talk about me, I don't say these kinds of things to myself."

Despite this, the Brazilian legend expressed his respect for the Portuguese star's career, saying, "Cristiano's story is magnificent, isn't it? He won great things, scored goals in every way. Moreover, he changed positions; he played wing, he played forward. These are not easy things."

However, Ronaldo Nazario does not agree with Cristiano Ronaldo's place in football history. The legendary footballer added: "Yes, he is one of the greatest in history, but is he the best? I don't know, I don't agree. I respect his opinion, but for me he is not the best. I consider him among the best, but he is in the top 10."

These statements by the Brazilian legend have reignited debates in the football world. While Cristiano Ronaldo's view of himself as the greatest in history is supported by some football fans, it remains a controversial claim for others.
