Juventus striker Cristiano Ronaldo shared his thoughts on the role of talent in football, revealed his goal and rivalry with Lionel Messi.

" To become an effective scorer, you must first have talent. Without this, nothing will work. But talent without work is useless. Nothing and never just falls from the sky. I would never get where I was without hard work.

Rivalry with Messi in Spain allowed us to become better, more efficient.

In “Real” I felt more his presence than in Manchester, I felt more pressure. But it was a healthy rivalry.

My goal is to stay young, getting older. I want to be competitive as long as possible. Show me a soccer player of my age who plays at the same level as me and on the same team as Juventus, ”said Cristiano, quoted by France Football.
