Cristiano
Ronaldo may have turned 35, but he's still as lethal in front of a goal post.
He's been in top form for Juventus scoring in straight 11 league games. In a
recent interview with Catalan sports daily Mundo Deportivo, he was questioned
on several themes, including Cristiano Ronaldo (as expected).
Messi's
opinion on Ronaldo's recent performances was sought. Messi who believes Ronaldo
has made scoring his obsession isn't surprised to see the Portuguese star
scoring as much as he does. "It's normal that he continues to score,
he is a predatory striker, he loves to score, any day he plays he will
score," Messi said.
"He
has many good attributes as a forward and at the minimum he
converts."
He
was asked about Cristiano's transfer to Juventus. He was asked, "Have Real
Madrid lost a great deal with Cristiano's departure?"
Leo
replied, "They have lost a great source of goals. That's
something obvious but he did offer plenty of other aspects but when a side
loses a source of 50 goals a season, you're going to notice that. Madrid do
have fine players but Cristiano was a guarantee to bag 50 goals per campaign.
Messi's
former Barcelona teammate Carles Puyol recently backed the Argentina forward to
play until he's 38. Messi admitted he still feels good despite aging.
"The
reality is that one is turning years old and does not know, but I feel very
good, better than in previous years, and that I am not making goals, but on a
physical level and legs I feel very good," he said.
He
was asked if he could play on until he's 40, and he replied, "We will
see, we will see."
