“Ronaldo and Neymar are important names that make the difference on the field, but I would like to see if they know how to behave like a team leader as Ibra did,” he told La Gazzetta dello Sport. “Otherwise, the team is likely to regress.”
“Cavani can seize the opportunity to become the next central striker,” he said. “I hope he can tune in with the team a lot better there.”
Speaking on his future: “Like Ibrahimovic, I will freely assess my options,” he added. “If I keep playing well, I’ll stay with PSG or go elsewhere. Otherwise I will study to become a coach.”
Meanwhile, LA Galaxy striker Robbie Keane would be delighted to play with Ronaldo in MLS, says it will be natural progression for Real Madrid star.
Keane has suggested that with the big players like of David Beckham and Steven Gerrard moving to LA, it will be logical move for former Manchester United man.
“I think it’s probably a natural progression for him,” Keane told TMZ Sports on Monday.
“In my mind I want to finish in the top level, I want to finish with dignity so in a good club. It doesn’t mean that to go USA or Qatar or Dubai is not good but I don’t see myself [going there].
Hopefully, not for another couple of years. I’ve still got a couple of years left in me to play,” Keane said of a possible move.
“I’ll be still playing. It’d be great if we could play together.”
