“It is always difficult to make comparisons to players these days, because this is a faster, more tactical game today. After all, in the old days, attackers were all technicians, everyone knew how to dribble and beat an opponent. Now, sometimes it seems that it’s enough just be fast, to just launch the ball forward and run after it. I must say, however, that I see a little of myself in Cristiano Ronaldo. Every time I see one of his fakes, I say, ‘I also used to do that!’ At the time we were not as fast, but I had quick feet, thought quickly and was certainly not lacking technically. So, I was a little like the Portuguese today, who is blessed with athleticism and class.”

Mazzola pay homage to Real Madrid legend Di Stefano:
“Yeah, I loved Di Stefano because he reminded me of my dad. In fact, after the game, I ran towards him to try to get his shirt, but then Puskas approached me and said: ‘You’re like your father,’ and then handed me his jersey. Obviously I took it with great pride and I must say that even today it is one of the jerseys with which I have the greatest attachment.”
Commenting on the performance of Inter Milan this season he said:
“Maybe, yes, I agree, because I did not expect this decline. I have the feeling that it’s not a physical problem but psychological, that they were convinced that they were stronger than they are and have lost an edge mentally. And when this happens, then it’s difficult to regain that concentration and humility.”
Inter Milan legend Sandro Mazzola says he see “myself in Cristiano Ronaldo” and believes Real Madrid star is the one of best player of all time.
