Sports / Bernardo Silva Reveals What Makes Ronaldo So Special by Youngprof007: 10:56am On May 16, 2020
The Manchester City midfielder says his Portugal team-mate never tires of success despite a glittering career

Cristiano Ronaldo may have turned 35 in February, but the Juventus forward is not ready to give up on adding to his extraordinary medal haul yet, according to his Portugal team-mate Bernardo Silva.
The pair were part of their country’s success at last summer’s Nations League as Ronaldo added to his collection that includes five Ballon d’Or awards and five Champions League wins.
Silva said his compatriot wants even more though, and joked that it isn’t even ‘annoying’ how much he is driven to win in training.

“I think what makes him so great is his mentality,” the Manchester City midfielder said. “He is 35 years old and it has been more than 15 years that he has played at the top level and he is not tired. He always wants more.

“He wants to win more Champions Leagues, he wants to win more titles with Portugal, he wants to win more leagues, more individual trophies, he wants more goals.
“I think what is annoying about him, in a way, is that in a training session, you play a game, and it is 1-1. The manager says whoever scores wins, and it is always him. It is not only in the games.
“When a game is stuck and you don’t know if you’re going to win or not, you know that if you give him the ball, he is the guy who decides; something special might happen when he has the ball.
“Even in the training session it is kind of annoying because it is always him that scores the most important goals! I think that is what makes him special, being there in the most important moments.” 
Silva picked up a decent trophy haul himself last season, winning the Premier League, FA Cup, Carabao Cup and Community Shield before his success with Portugal.
The 25-year-old was outstanding, earning a nomination for PFA Player of the Year, which his manager Pep Guardiola believed he should have won, although Silva insists he is fortunate to play with such talented team-mates.
“Some games you are more confident than others. I always have one thing in my mind, I say 'Bernardo, if one day you are not feeling confident about something, just look to your left side and right side',” he added.
“When I am not feeling confident about a game, I go into the tunnel, we are almost going out onto the pitch, I look around and I see Aymeric Laporte, Ederson, Fernandinho, Kevin [De Bruyne], David [Silva], Kun [Aguero], whoever. I look around and I think, 'Why am I afraid?' That is the good thing about having such amazing team-mates.” 

Meanwhile, Silva revealed that Ronaldo was behind the decision for Portugal players to donate some of their European Championship qualification bonus to help during the coronavirus pandemic, and added that he has been using his time during quarantine to work on his cooking and learning to play the piano.
“I went to Portugal for a month and I spent it there with my close friends and family and, it is a terrible situation, but it was quite good being there and resting and being able to be with them,” he said. 
“I have been cooking every day and I am getting really good at this. I started learning the piano a bit before this situation but now it is a good time to practice because I have plenty of time and I started reading, I like to read and write a lot. You have to try to find things to do to spend your time.”

Sports / Dybala To Juventus Team-mate Ronaldo: We Hate You In Argentina! by Youngprof007: 1:35pm On Apr 02, 2020
The Bianconeri forward told the Portugal star that there is no love for him in the South American country

Paulo Dybala says that he told Juventus team-mate Cristiano Ronaldo he is not a very popular figure in Argentina, as Lionel Messi's homeland "hates" the Portuguese star.
The sporting rivalry between Messi and Ronaldo has seen both cement their status as two of the greatest to ever play the game.
Clashes between Messi's Barcelona and Ronaldo's Real Madrid have been among the most anticipated and appreciated in football history, with both players seemingly raising their games in an effort to best the other.
Ronaldo moved to Juventus in 2018, ending the on-field rivalry in La Liga, but the debate still continues as to which of the two should be counted as his rival's better.
Now a team-mate of Ronaldo in Turin, Argentina international Dybala admitted to the Portuguese star that his country has no love for him, even if he has since learned that forward is a person worthy of admiration.
"I said to him, 'Cristiano, in Argentina, we hate you a bit because of your figure, because of how you are, of how you walk. The truth is that you've surprised me because I've found you to be different'," Dybala said in an interview with the Argentinian Football Association.
Dybala is one of the few stars to have played alongside both Ronaldo and Messi, giving the forward a rare insight into two of the greatest to ever play the game.
However, the Juventus star came under fire last year when he said that he found it difficult to play alongside Messi with Argentina, due to them playing in a similar position.
Dybala says he has since talked tactics with Messi as the two have looked to find an understanding of how they fit together positionally.
"I've never intended to criticise a team-mate, I simply wanted to improve something that was happening," Dybala said.

"I spoke about it with Leo because we're both very similar tactically.
"I didn't have many minutes at the World Cup or the Copa America but, at the same time, I always respected the decisions of the coaches because Argentina is very prestigious."
Dybala was recently diagnosed with coronavirus and, after recovering from the illness.
