“Cristiano is the best example for our society and youth. Not only is he known for his footballing quality but also in terms of humanity.

“He’s an example of determination and ambition on and off the field.”

Former Arsenal has criticized Ronaldo for not performing for Portugal in the Euro 2016, and has suggested that he is unable to lead the team, and only do well at Real Madrid because he is surrounded by World-class players.

“People tell me Cristiano Ronaldo is a better player than Diego Maradona, but I watched him against Austria and that’s rubbish. Maradona is 100 times better. Ronaldo looks great when he’s playing for Real Madrid battering other teams 9-0 every week but when you ask him to carry a team on his shoulders, he can’t do it. People tell me he was unlucky because his penalty hit the post – but luck should not come into it when you take a penalty. Portugal have to win this or else there is a real risk of them going out. I think they’ll nick it.”
