Cristiano Ronaldo Names 3 Great Talents Who can Rule Football in Upcoming Years


Ballon d'Or frontrunner Cristiano Ronaldo​ has named three players he feels could take the world  of football by storm in the next few years.

The forward, who came through the ranks at Sporting CP, before joining Manchester United and Real Madrid to cement his position as one of the greatest players ever to take to the field, spoke to ​Marca about the next generation of talents.


When asked if there was anyone in place to become 'the new Cristiano Ronaldo', the Euro 2016 winner was quick to point out that, while there are many good prospects, there can be none like him.

"No one can be the next Cristiano Ronaldo, there are no doubles. The next will be what he has to be, but never the same. That doesn't happen."

However, the 31-year-old, who recently signed bumper deals with both Real Madrid and Nike, did identify three players as top talents who have the potential to succeed.

"I see in Europe many young talents, I can mention several: Renato Sanches, Andre Gomes, or Joao Mario.

"There are many to choose from and I've only mentioned the Portuguese, but there are many in Europe who have the capacity to go far. I am very happy because these great talents assure that football will always be strong."

All three of the Portuguese talents named by Ronaldo, secured big-money transfers following Portugal's Euro win in the summer.

19-year-old Renato Sanches joined German champions Bayern Munich for an initial €35m, and the all action midfielder has been likened to former Netherlands stars Edgar Davids and Clarence Seedorf for his physicality and stylish play.

Andres Gomes joined Barcelona from fellow La Liga outfit Valencia for a similar fee to that of Sanches and is widely tipped as a natural successor to Andres Iniesta. 

The third man identified, Joao Mario, left Ronaldo's alma mater Sporting CP for Serie A's Internazionale in transfer reported to be around €40m.

Cristiano Ronaldo Stars in Hilariously Cringeworthy Home Alone Parody

Cristiano Ronaldo, despite his unmatched drive to succeed, has always had a sense of humour - think back to the time he wrapped Ricardo Quaresma's car in kitchen foil - and has now starred in a parody of iconic Christmas movie 'Home Alone' along with his mother, Dolores.


Part of his latest advertising project, this time for a soundbar, Ronaldo was 'forgotten' by his family as they boarded a plane to far flung destination and proceeded to recreate a handful of the film's most famous scenes, all with a self-deprecating cringey comedy factor.
Unfortunately, the two burglars are left out.

Zinedine Zidane Hopeful Cristiano Ronaldo Will End Career at Real Madrid After New Contract

​Real Madrid head coach Zinedine Zidane wants star man Cristiano Ronaldo to end his career at Santiago Bernabeu following confirmation of the Portuguese star's new contract on Sunday.

It was confirmed by the club that Ronaldo, who played in Real's 3-0 win over Leganes on Sunday afternoon, would now be tied to the club until 2021 following the confirmation of the new deal. The deal follows shortly after confirmation that Gareth Bale had also extended his stay in the Spanish capital, as he signed a new deal last week until 2022.
Zidane revealed after Real's win, according to the ​club's website, that he wants Ronaldo to follow in his own footsteps and hang up his boots in the famous all-white kit. 

He said: "What Cristiano has to do is finish his career here. He is unique because of what he does and what he stands for. His dream is to end his career here and I am happy that he can renew his contract and end his career here just I did a long time ago."

Ronaldo's contract signing will be ​officially presented to the press at a special event on Monday, where the player himself will speak about the deal, but Zidane then turned his attention to how well his team played in the Leganes victory - which means they'll top the La Liga table going in to the upcoming international break.
He added: "I always think about the team, that's what concerns me. I'm pleased with the work everyone put in, not any player in particular. There will always be one who makes the difference, but the great thing today was the team.

"We know the job we are doing and even 100 points doesn't guarantee that you win La Liga. It's getting harder and harder to win easy games, they don't exist. The first half was difficult for us today. Then after we got the goal, the game changed and we controlled the second half well."
