Cristiano Ronaldo: Dani Alves' comments about Man Utd star go viral

Dani Alves has declared his admiration for Cristiano Ronaldo in a heartwarming interview.

Alves and Ronaldo were fierce rivals on the pitch for many years during their times at Barcelona and Real Madrid respectively.

Both players have now moved on.

Alves, now 39, is still playing Mexico for UNAM.

Ronaldo, meanwhile, left Real Madrid in 2018 and is still playing at the highest level with Manchester United.

With the two players no longer rivals, Alves has now spoken very highly of the legendary forward.

Speaking to UNAM team-mate El Chispa Velarde in a video published on Youtube, per Sport, Alves said of Ronaldo: “In particular, I love Cristiano. Now it’s not Barca vs Madrid, because it always seems that you can’t talk, now I’m not there, I can. Cristiano exemplified for all of us that we don’t need to have so much quality, that with hard work we can also compete against the best. He exemplified it.

“I respect him so much, and one day I played against him and I had the chance to tell him.”

“There was a time when I tried to greet him and he did not greet me, that create controversy once. In a Ballon d’Or we also had a disagreement there, he did not greet me, because of all the noise that was happening there. They said that if I did not respect him why would he to me. How can I not respect a guy that has played through his hard work, on the basis of his balls. I identify with him. All I did in my life was on that basis.”
