Ronaldo Was My Hero’ Says Messi by unlessgod: 6:40am On Nov 07, 2012
LONDON (AFP) – Barcelona striker Lionel Messi,
widely considered the best player in the world,
has revealed that Ronaldo was one of his
heroes — but not his Portuguese rival.


“Ronaldo was my hero,” Messi was quoted as
saying in the latest edition of British football
magazine FourFourTwo, referring to the
Brazilian Ronaldo Luis Nazario de Lima, not Real
Madrid’s Cristiano, with whom he is vying for
the Ballon d’Or.

“I loved watching players like (Zinedine)
Zidane, Ronaldinho and Rivaldo but Ronaldo
was the best striker I’ve ever seen,” he added.

“He was so fast he could score from nothing,
and could shoot the ball better than anyone
I’ve ever seen.”

Messi, 25, is tipped to pick up the Ballon d’Or
award for the world’s best footballer. Like
Ronaldo, who also played at Barcelona, and
France legend Zidane he has won the
prestigious accolade three times.
