    what are the differences between the
  • 00:03:17
    leagues cuz everyone says oh the
  • 00:03:19
    League's not any good there you play
  • 00:03:20
    there you know like what's the differ
  • 00:03:22
    the leagues all the leagues they are
  • 00:03:24
    different uh in my opinion it's the
  • 00:03:28
    people speak
  • 00:03:30
    more than they really know all the
  • 00:03:32
    leagues in my opinion they have issues
  • 00:03:35
    uh but the league I tell you 100% And
  • 00:03:39
    you can when you're going to do
  • 00:03:41
    interview to another players who play
  • 00:03:43
    there they will tell you it's not easy
  • 00:03:46
    it's not easy it's very difficult plus
  • 00:03:48
    the weather which is is very hot and you
  • 00:03:51
    know when it's hot it's more difficult
  • 00:03:54
    to to to to maintain the level of the
  • 00:03:57
    game but in my opinion league is very
  • 00:04:00
    very good and they still grow and grow
  • 00:04:03
    and improve and uh I'm I'm happy because
  • 00:04:06
    I was the pioner of the the country in
  • 00:04:10
    football so I'm glad for that yeah a bit
  • 00:04:13
    like like like Becks Becks in America
  • 00:04:15
    MLS what he's doing over there and what
  • 00:04:17
    he's done has been magic and then and
  • 00:04:19
    what you're doing here even to my mind
  • 00:04:22
    even you're like you've created a whole
  • 00:04:23
    movement of people coming how much
  • 00:04:25
    pressure did you feel being the first
  • 00:04:29
    real big star to come out and say and
  • 00:04:30
    then say to everybody come on follow me
  • 00:04:32
    how was that big pressure for you R you
  • 00:04:34
    know as as I as I was young you know I
  • 00:04:38
    had a different personality uh I believe
  • 00:04:42
    in myself in other not only football but
  • 00:04:45
    in other areas as well to be honest was
  • 00:04:49
    zero pressure I didn't have any pressure
  • 00:04:51
    what to when I moved there I didn't feel
  • 00:04:55
    pressure for me pressure even it was
  • 00:04:57
    everyone going crazy crazy you know for
  • 00:04:59
    me for for me the pressure it's the
  • 00:05:01
    people who was in a war that didn't have
  • 00:05:04
    foods to hit that deal with the with the
  • 00:05:07
    guns during the night shots for me this
  • 00:05:10
    is the real pressure as I told you
  • 00:05:12
    before I I left my house with 11 12
  • 00:05:13
    years old I cry every day so honest I'm
  • 00:05:17
    not I'm not going to tell you that to be
  • 00:05:19
    cocky or whatever but pressure was Zero
  • 00:05:22
    of course you have the other issues Mak
  • 00:05:24
    sense going to work out professionally
  • 00:05:27
    professionally but in the other way to
  • 00:05:29
    be honest I felt I felt free
  • 00:05:33
    because I any place I play I show my
  • 00:05:38
    level and I knew it that I will be there
  • 00:05:41
    I will show my level as well I will
  • 00:05:43
    improve the league and I knew it that
  • 00:05:46
    the players will follow me I knew it
  • 00:05:48
    because not only the terms of financial
  • 00:05:52
    which is is obvious the main point can
  • 00:05:55
    say but as well the culture of football
  • 00:05:57
    I knew it's the culture of Saudi
  • 00:05:59
    football was nice because I
  • 00:06:01
    have friends who play there before
  • 00:06:03
    coaches Portuguese coaches was there and
  • 00:06:06
    of course if you ask me you expect so
  • 00:06:09
    quick a big stars will move there no but
  • 00:06:13
    I will expect that the football will
  • 00:06:15
    change because of me did you did you
  • 00:06:18
    uh you I can't get my head out of you
  • 00:06:21
    crying when you left home um 11 what
  • 00:06:24

    you are to your mom like you're I I
  • 00:06:30

  • 00:06:32
    family man and like your mom's
  • 00:06:34
    connection with you is like probably
  • 00:06:36

    people that are watching how difficult
  • 00:06:42
    is that and how did you deal with that
  • 00:06:44
    for me it was the main point the big
  • 00:06:48
    switch of my life was to suffer a lot in
  • 00:06:51
    that moment this is why I'm more willing
  • 00:06:55

    tournament and you were
  • 00:08:15
    crying um what was that like because you
  • 00:08:17
    got some people saying ah why is he
  • 00:08:19
    crying is his ego is this is that what
  • 00:08:22
    what what is the reasons behind it and
  • 00:08:24
    how do you feel now about looking back
  • 00:08:26
    it's much more easy to criticize that
  • 00:08:29
    appreciate what what you really have you
  • 00:08:31
    know we knows the Press how works if you
  • 00:08:34
    speak good don't sell you have to speak
  • 00:08:37
    bad is normal and if you speak about
  • 00:08:38
    Cristiano you're coming in the first
  • 00:08:40
    page it's normal because I'm the most
  • 00:08:43
    follow guy in the world it's not because
  • 00:08:46
    only because of my pretty face but in
  • 00:08:49
    everything you know why Christian is the
  • 00:08:51
    number one follow in the world why why
  • 00:08:53
    do you
  • 00:08:54
    think many things there's goals football
  • 00:08:58
    trophies trophies
  • 00:09:00
    family way lifestyle everything because
  • 00:09:02
    people say why they Fallen because they
  • 00:09:06
    in some way they like me you understand
  • 00:09:09
    I think and they criticize all is going
  • 00:09:11
    to exist and it's part of the business
  • 00:09:13
    for me this is is not a problem your
  • 00:09:16
    question was in why you crying why you
  • 00:09:18
    cry for example I speak last night about
  • 00:09:20
    that when you have passion for what you
  • 00:09:23
    doing you cannot be worried about how
  • 00:09:26
    your feelings M if for example example I
  • 00:09:30
    cried the day that I missed the penalty
  • 00:09:34
    which is I believe that Oak did a
  • 00:09:35
    fantastic save M okay but let's
  • 00:09:38
    interpret it that I missed the penalty
  • 00:09:40
    when I cry it's not because I cry
  • 00:09:44
    because I felt that if I don't score
  • 00:09:46
    that penalty and if Portugal will be
  • 00:09:48
    eliminated the GNA world will collapse
  • 00:09:51
    on me not because of that real no it's
  • 00:09:55
    people they don't know they don't know
  • 00:09:56
    me it's imagine
  • 00:10:00
    that the last 27 penalties you score you
  • 00:10:05
    miss in that period you feel
  • 00:10:08
    like bad from yourself you don't even
  • 00:10:11
    even thinking about that the people who
  • 00:10:13
    come to the stadium your kids your mom
  • 00:10:16
    your girlfriend everyone I felt sad
  • 00:10:19
    because of that you think I'm will
  • 00:10:22
    thinking I missed the penalty but
  • 00:10:24
    Portugal going to falling down on me
  • 00:10:26
    they're going to say that we failed
  • 00:10:27
    because Christiano miss the I didn't
  • 00:10:28
    even think think about that I swear to
  • 00:10:30
    God I felt because I make pressure to
  • 00:10:33
    myself you know me since with 11 years
  • 00:10:36
    old I always make pressure to me
  • 00:10:38
    Cristiano you are the best player in the
  • 00:10:40
    world in my mind I'm always thinking in
  • 00:10:42
    that way and I put a lot of pressure to
  • 00:10:45
    myself you have good sides when the
  • 00:10:47
    things go good okay but when the things
  • 00:10:50
    go wrong you feel that too because you
  • 00:10:52
    make too much pressure to me I make
  • 00:10:54
    pressure to me but I love that I know to
  • 00:10:56
    deal with that but when I missed the
  • 00:10:58
    penalty I felt
  • 00:11:00
    but with myself the fans the family not
  • 00:11:04
    because other stuff that people say that
  • 00:11:06
    I it's not that it's not I saw you
  • 00:11:09
    looking into the crowd was it like your
  • 00:11:10
    mom or your kids exactly cuz I know what
  • 00:11:12
    that gets me emotional in the World Cup
  • 00:11:14
    I cried during National Anem home my mom
  • 00:11:16
    screaming and it all came like this
  • 00:11:19
    moment what a moment and I cried special
  • 00:11:21
    moments is emotional moments when you
  • 00:11:24
    saw your mom that exactly you have to
  • 00:11:26
    express yourself you cannot hide in this
  • 00:11:28
    kind of stuff for me if you're
  • 00:11:30
    iding you you you lie to yourself you
  • 00:11:34
    have to be yourself doesn't matter if
  • 00:11:36
    the people like or not you think I'm
  • 00:11:38
    going to change now I Christian self is
  • 00:11:41
    always I'm going to change now you think
  • 00:11:43
    with nearly 40 years old I'm going to
  • 00:11:46
    change of course not oh you like me or
  • 00:11:47
    you don't like me it's part of the life
  • 00:11:49
    for me it's not a problem in the
  • 00:11:51
    national team it was like that I people
  • 00:11:54
    say ah he's done he's 39 he's getting
  • 00:11:57
    old you know why because I didn't didn't
  • 00:11:59
    scor the a goal yeah and and the rest
  • 00:12:02
    and the past in qualifiers you scored
  • 00:12:05
    like 10 goals 10 goals in the qualifi
  • 00:12:07
    and before the Euros I scored two goals
  • 00:12:09
    against Ireland but this is part real
  • 00:12:12
    even even if I will score in Euros not
  • 00:12:15
    we will change what Cristiano are you
  • 00:12:18
    people try to to hi and stuff and speak

  • 00:12:26
    national team and I will try to score if
  • 00:12:28
    I don't score next game I will try to
  • 00:12:30
    score if I will be like that does that
  • 00:12:32
    affect you though so it doesn't affect
  • 00:12:33
    you if you don't score goals are you the
  • 00:12:35
    same person around a train want to score
  • 00:12:37
    goals for me it doesn't matter to play
  • 00:12:39
    against FRS and to play against etif fak
  • 00:12:42
    for me it doesn't matter don't change
  • 00:12:44
    nothing but if you don't score what are
  • 00:12:46
    you like though what are you like to be
  • 00:12:47
    around are you are you rude vistro
  • 00:12:50
    remember when he didn't score he was a
  • 00:12:52
    nightmare we could win 3-0 he didn't
  • 00:12:54
    score he's sitting like this yeah are
  • 00:12:56
    you I have one thing that I learned you
  • 00:12:58
    it's
  • 00:12:59
    you can be upset in the
  • 00:13:03
    moments after the game if we win it's
  • 00:13:05
    always better but if you win if I score
  • 00:13:08
    I will be a little bit more happy I have
  • 00:13:10
    to be honest I'm not going to be like
  • 00:13:11
    that no or if you lost in the game you
  • 00:13:16
    have to show during this period or
  • 00:13:18
    during that you are pissed it's part of
  • 00:13:22
    but next day I'm very capable and I
  • 00:13:24
    learn that listen crisano let's go life
  • 00:13:27
    continue pass is past you never come
  • 00:13:29
    again the present it's the best gift
  • 00:13:32
    that we have in our life the present
  • 00:13:34
    because you know you don't know that
  • 00:13:36
    what's going to happen tomorrow you
  • 00:13:38
    don't know true I don't know he don't
  • 00:13:39
    know so leave the present how soon is
  • 00:13:42
    that game or that moment gone then so
  • 00:13:43
    you finished the game in achange of M I
  • 00:13:45
    can imagine you being we done it sh was
  • 00:13:47
    [ __ ] you was [ __ ] I was [ __ ] and how
  • 00:13:50
    soon is that game then gone for the next
  • 00:13:52
    game some some some games and some
  • 00:13:55
    moments you're getting a little bit more
  • 00:13:57
    upset for example after the to eliminate
  • 00:14:00
    penalties against friends take two days
  • 00:14:04
    because it's a special moment pressure
  • 00:14:06
    but that's it listen third day go back
  • 00:14:09
    to the gym work because you have more to
  • 00:14:12
    show you understand life continue you
  • 00:14:15
    cannot live in the past I'm really good
  • 00:14:18
    on that you understand I learn by the
  • 00:14:20
    hearers that listen Christian let's go
  • 00:14:23
    because pain you're going to have all
  • 00:14:25
    the time uncertainty and constant work
  • 00:14:28
    constant work constant work doesn't
  • 00:14:30
    matter What's happen it's going to
  • 00:14:31
    happen in your life you have to continue
  • 00:14:33
    this is the way I see the life and
  • 00:14:35
    football especially so the performances
  • 00:14:37
    of Portugal in the tournament in Euros
  • 00:14:39
    24 like what's your thoughts on that now
  • 00:14:41
    you've had a bit of time to reflect
  • 00:14:43
    because I had you as one of the four or
  • 00:14:44
    five favorites to
  • 00:14:46
    win R when you lost the penalties it's
  • 00:14:50
    this year this year I I lost three
  • 00:14:54
    competitions by penalties wow who who
  • 00:14:57
    who who going to tell me that this year
  • 00:14:58
    I will win three trophies can be a
  • 00:15:01
    signal you never know this is football
  • 00:15:02
    you know
  • 00:15:03
    football as much as I know that's it's
  • 00:15:07
    like that football is like that you lost
  • 00:15:10
    the penal but the game before we win the
  • 00:15:12
    penalties M so this has happened so for
  • 00:15:16
    me I can say that was average uh
  • 00:15:21
    tournament but if we win the penalties
  • 00:15:23
    you will play semi-final against Spain
  • 00:15:25
    semi-final okay people will understand
  • 00:15:28
    much they was eliminated for Spain or
  • 00:15:30
    not you never know semi-finals was like
  • 00:15:34
    the limit but in my opinion we lost
  • 00:15:37
    penalties against France which is we
  • 00:15:39
    control the game we had the best uh
  • 00:15:42
    chances it's football is difficult
  • 00:15:45
    because nobody like to L but in my in my
  • 00:15:49
    point of view Portugal do average we
  • 00:15:52
    always can do it better but is a lesson
  • 00:15:55
    for the future in my opinion but you're
  • 00:15:57
    finished they say some people say oh
  • 00:15:59
    he's finished SC that am goals they say
  • 00:16:03
    whatever they want but do you see all
  • 00:16:04
    that you you listen to it you hear it
  • 00:16:06
    you see it and use it as
  • 00:16:08
    fuel sometimes but real to be honest I'm
  • 00:16:11
    39 and in and and half I care less about
  • 00:16:15
    what because even when you do it good
  • 00:16:18
    they criticize you but and criticize you
  • 00:16:20
    is part of your journey you understand
  • 00:16:23
    so it's I don't care about that because
  • 00:16:27
    even even if I will win the Heros I will
  • 00:16:30
    continue my anger will maintain the same
  • 00:16:33
    you understand it doesn't matter for me
  • 00:16:35
    if you win or if you lost I will stand
  • 00:16:38
    up the next day and I will continue bro
  • 00:16:41
    if I won the Euros at 39 years old bro
  • 00:16:44
    the the cigar the feet would be up the
  • 00:16:48
    the the whiskey I would be doing it all
  • 00:16:50
    man and I don't understand how I can't
  • 00:16:52
    and I played elite football I just still
  • 00:16:54
    can't it surprises me and it astounds me
  • 00:16:57
    sometimes when I hear you and you
  • 00:16:58
    getting up every day the same like that
  • 00:17:00
    like you're 18 years old it's it's hard
  • 00:17:03
    to explain but I like to make people
  • 00:17:05
    happy too you know I have fans whatever
  • 00:17:07
    World whatever the world and I see them
  • 00:17:10
    highs when they see me just you know
  • 00:17:14
    when I score goals and they do it in the
  • 00:17:16
    street every time and I want them yes I
  • 00:17:20
    want I want to make them happy you know
  • 00:17:22

  • 00:17:24
    going to finish if you ask me of course
  • 00:17:26
    I'm closer to finish that
  • 00:17:29
    I have just talk about finish come talk
  • 00:17:31
    about this good I like this this talking
  • 00:17:32
    about the longevity and and the the rest
  • 00:17:36
    of your career and another thing that I
  • 00:17:38
    learned since you play more you learn
  • 00:17:41
    many many many things and uh one things
  • 00:17:43
    that I learned in a few years is like
  • 00:17:45
    enjoy the moment enjoy the moment VI
  • 00:17:48
    leave the moment because you you don't
  • 00:17:51

    I know that I'm still looking good I
  • 00:17:56

    I look good you know I feel that I still
  • 00:18:02

    the most important I want that I want
  • 00:19:06
    that for me it's the best mark that I
  • 00:19:09

    about that I remember when we were
  • 00:19:54
    younger it was in every phase of your
  • 00:19:56
    life was competition in the change room
  • 00:19:58
    arguing with Nani or with Anderson and
  • 00:20:00
    the guys about one about a tomato or
  • 00:20:03
    something like stupid and used to go Rio
  • 00:20:06
    I used to go yeah and you go oh see I
  • 00:20:08
    told you stupid [ __ ] whatever but um
  • 00:20:11
    and table tennis when I used to slap you
  • 00:20:13
    a little bit I me but are you still
  • 00:20:16
    competitive like that now every walk of
  • 00:20:18
    your life yeah I was in the Red Sea a
  • 00:20:21
    couple days ago I play every day padle
  • 00:20:23

  • 00:20:26
    you get mad is it we don't speak with me
  • 00:20:29
    like for two days he the same as you
  • 00:20:30
    remember when IET this is why I'm happy
  • 00:20:32
    this is why I'm happy and even the small
  • 00:20:34
    one mat they are ped with the vein very
  • 00:20:38
    always P but I like this is show that
  • 00:20:40
    they have Personality yeah yeah but
  • 00:20:42
    serious my kids they are like me and I
  • 00:20:44
    don't teach them they see by example
  • 00:20:48
    because you know sometimes I when I lost
  • 00:20:50
    I get angry sometimes I'm cry depend of
  • 00:20:53
    the moment and they are kind of the same
  • 00:20:55
    so even with my kids I compete even with
  • 00:20:57
    a G I'm always one to win so I don't
  • 00:21:00
    give nothing for free you remember when
  • 00:21:01
    Nani used to cry used to slap
  • 00:21:07
    him we got to go again we got to go
  • 00:21:09
    again I love that man I'm going to kill
  • 00:21:10
    this all day let's go to European
  • 00:21:12
    football and European football clubs
  • 00:21:14
    obviously you got a big history there
  • 00:21:16
    and Real Madrid you have a great
  • 00:21:19
    connection there some fantastic years um
  • 00:21:22
    firstly what do you think of their their
  • 00:21:23
    season last year Real Madrid La Liga
  • 00:21:26
    Real Madrid is looking looking very very
  • 00:21:29
    good it's the kind of team they don't
  • 00:21:32
    rush Under Pressure this is why they the
  • 00:21:35
    most of the people say ah they are lucky
  • 00:21:37
    in the Champions no they are not lucky
  • 00:21:40
    they have their brain they are prepar
  • 00:21:43
    they prepare for this kind of moments
  • 00:21:45
    bernabel the stadiums they have a
  • 00:21:47
    different AA you understand the energy
  • 00:21:49
    is different the energy is different and
  • 00:21:51
    when the big teams go there they score
  • 00:21:53
    one goal 85 minutes 90 minutes the
  • 00:21:56
    pressure is a lot for me it's the best
  • 00:21:59
    club ever in history of football how you
  • 00:22:03
    say Madrid going to be better or going
  • 00:22:05
    to be we don't know let's see let's see
  • 00:22:08
    you know mbapp all go there now I think
  • 00:22:11
    Madrid will will keep strong but I don't
  • 00:22:15
    know if they will be better than last
  • 00:22:16
    year I don't know let's see only Gods
  • 00:22:19
    know but they have a fantastic team
  • 00:22:22
    fantastic
  • 00:22:23
    players uh I believe that they're going
  • 00:22:26
    to be they're going to be one of the
  • 00:22:28
    best teams in world how did how do you
  • 00:22:30
    continuously churn out every season mad
  • 00:22:34
    numbers the way you was doing it like
  • 00:22:35
    you was scoring a ridiculous amount of
  • 00:22:37
    goals every year in the pressure cooker
  • 00:22:39
    of the burnout I was trophies go I win
  • 00:22:42
    trophies I win everything there I'm the
  • 00:22:45
    the the the record of goals of the club
  • 00:22:48
    and for me it was a pleasure to play in
  • 00:22:51
    Real Madrid for eight seasons eight nine
  • 00:22:53
    seasons and to win four Champions
  • 00:22:56
    Leagues there and uh go golden boots and
  • 00:22:59
    everything I win there so I love that
  • 00:23:02
    that that place well I want to talk
  • 00:23:04
    about when you went there but obviously
  • 00:23:06
    you got kilan and bappe going there now
  • 00:23:09
    um and we'll get on to him but what so
  • 00:23:11
    it' be similar for him when you went
  • 00:23:13
    there what was the pressure like in the
  • 00:23:15
    changing room because you had big I
  • 00:23:17
    remember we spoke years ago and it was
  • 00:23:19
    like you said there's a big Spanish
  • 00:23:20
    contingent there it's going to be
  • 00:23:22
    difficult for me to get in and I was the
  • 00:23:24
    most expensive player ever yeah how was
  • 00:23:26
    that like it was pressure but in the
  • 00:23:28
    same way I believe in myself I say
  • 00:23:30
    listen if I was the best player in the
  • 00:23:32
    Premier League and I win the Golden Bowl
  • 00:23:34
    in Manchester United Champions League
  • 00:23:38
    this is the league but I was I knew it
  • 00:23:41
    that I will do it well I knew it because
  • 00:23:43
    as I told you I'm I believe in my my
  • 00:23:45
    skills I believe in my talent was
  • 00:23:48
    difficult because it's a different
  • 00:23:49
    country the adaptation I was 24 are
  • 00:23:52
    still young but in the same way I was
  • 00:23:56
    very very very positive the best club in
  • 00:23:58
    the world I say I'm going to make
  • 00:24:01
    history in this club like I did in
  • 00:24:03
    Manchester United it was a challenge for
  • 00:24:05
    me but as you know I'm a I'm a
  • 00:24:07
    challenged person I like to show the
  • 00:24:10
    people that they are wrong you
  • 00:24:12
    understand even uh with the age right
  • 00:24:14
    now that we're going to speak later
  • 00:24:16
    about that I like to prove the opposite
  • 00:24:19
    what the people thinking so was a big
  • 00:24:21
    challenge for me and I was very very
  • 00:24:24
    very happy to play in Real Madrid in
  • 00:24:25
    that period what's what's what are going
  • 00:24:27
    to be the problem and what does kilan
  • 00:24:29
    mbappe need to do going in there I think
  • 00:24:32
    you're going to do it well to be honest
  • 00:24:34
    because the structure of the club it's
  • 00:24:36
    it's nice it's good it's solid you
  • 00:24:39
    understand and they have a great coach
  • 00:24:41
    and the president who who are who are
  • 00:24:44
    there many many years I think not going
  • 00:24:46
    to be a big issue for him not going to
  • 00:24:48
    be a big problem because he's his
  • 00:24:50
    challenge he show everything what is's
  • 00:24:52
    capable to do it and I think you're
  • 00:24:54
    going to do it well to be honest because
  • 00:24:55
    he's in my opinion it can be the next
  • 00:24:59
    Golden bow for the last the next years
  • 00:25:02
    him probably alland
  • 00:25:06
    Bellingham um I mean I think it's this
  • 00:25:09
    new generation they have a lot of
  • 00:25:11
    potential but I believe that you're
  • 00:25:14
    going to do it very well and I look at
  • 00:25:16
    your team and I was like mesmerized by
  • 00:25:18
    obviously yourself the age that you're
  • 00:25:20
    playing at at the level and
  • 00:25:23
    pep like talk to me about your your
  • 00:25:27
    partnership your Romance a little bit
  • 00:25:29
    and how you both or give me a bit
  • 00:25:31
    insight into how he's maintained the
  • 00:25:33
    level he's played at as well 40 years
  • 00:25:35
    old yeah crazy crazy I 4 40 I could I
  • 00:25:40
    play extra
  • 00:25:41
    time one game 40 minutes 4 day after I
  • 00:25:44
    play extra time again people they don't
  • 00:25:46
    appreciate that they always why you play
  • 00:25:49
    why you play okay but this is what what
  • 00:25:53
    what I'm going to do and against George
  • 00:25:54
    I played 60 minutes so I didn't play all
  • 00:25:56
    the minutes it's longevity it's the
  • 00:25:59
    mindset of When You Reach some age the
  • 00:26:03
    difference is your mind it's not the
  • 00:26:05
    body anymore because the body have
  • 00:26:07
    memory you understand if you give if you
  • 00:26:09
    treat good your body 10 years 15
  • 00:26:12
    years they're going to respect you if
  • 00:26:15
    you treat good after will be your mind
  • 00:26:18
    always will be your mind if you want to
  • 00:26:21
    to play four five years more because in
  • 00:26:25
    all the sports the average age it's
  • 00:26:28
    between 13s and 14s they finish if you
  • 00:26:31
    see tennis uh Formula One the best guys
  • 00:26:35
    football consistent it's that age that
  • 00:26:38
    you start to lose your testosterone
  • 00:26:41
    whatever your hormones and everything
  • 00:26:43
    it's normal the process of life but Pepe
  • 00:26:46
    and me we are a good example because we
  • 00:26:48
    treat good the body during so many many
  • 00:26:51
    years he basted on the pitch though
  • 00:26:52
    isn't he yes yes yes but outside the
  • 00:26:54
    pitch is yes yes yes but outside the
  • 00:26:56
    pitch is very good guy and he very
  • 00:26:58
    professional guy too how do you do you
  • 00:27:00
    finish the season you win everything win
  • 00:27:02
    the Golden Ball what's your mindset when
  • 00:27:04
    the season finishes in the summer to go
  • 00:27:07
    again real for me it's only one one word
  • 00:27:10
    to Define that enthusiasm if you don't
  • 00:27:13
    have enthusiasm in your life this is why
  • 00:27:16
    I was last night dinner with my family
  • 00:27:18
    with my mom and we speak about some some
  • 00:27:21
    situations that happen in Heros it's the
  • 00:27:23
    enthusiasm that I still have for the
  • 00:27:25
    game I'm addict for football I'm addict
  • 00:27:28
    to score goals and to play in a good
  • 00:27:31
    level even with my H because I love this
  • 00:27:35
    it's crazy though man you know it's
  • 00:27:36
    crazy I just sit there and just think
  • 00:27:38
    [ __ ] just relax now man talking about
  • 00:27:40
    longevity and playing someone's cut
  • 00:27:42
    their career short I think I think you
  • 00:27:44
    could continue playing Tony Cruz tell me
  • 00:27:47
    a little bit about him you played with
  • 00:27:48
    him obviously at Real Madrid what was he
  • 00:27:49
    like listen it's the way you see the
  • 00:27:51
    football the way you his life we don't
  • 00:27:53
    know behind the football what's going on
  • 00:27:56
    in his life it's
  • 00:27:58
    we have to respect him you know because
  • 00:28:01
    the people see now more people the
  • 00:28:03
    longevity to but we are not all the same
  • 00:28:06
    you understand I respect his decisions
  • 00:28:09
    because he it's the kind of a guy say I
  • 00:28:11
    will do that and he do it you understand
  • 00:28:13
    I respect but if you ask me he can play
  • 00:28:16
    a few years more yes but maybe you have
  • 00:28:18
    other issues that he don't want to it's
  • 00:28:21
    it's full of football and you have to
  • 00:28:23
    respect that I got to do it again man
  • 00:28:25
    united Man United
  • 00:28:29
    what's your thoughts on May United let's
  • 00:28:30
    let's go back you went back to May
  • 00:28:32
    united we spoke on the phone when you
  • 00:28:34
    was going to going to go on sign at man
  • 00:28:36
    united when you was negotiating to come
  • 00:28:38
    back and my wife wanted to kill me at
  • 00:28:41
    1:00 in the morning you rang me what's
  • 00:28:43
    going on sort this out you end up
  • 00:28:45
    signing signing for United um initially
  • 00:28:49
    that must have been a beautiful thing
  • 00:28:50
    for you cuz I remember on the phone you
  • 00:28:51
    sounded so happy and then obviously it
  • 00:28:53
    went a bit sour just give us a bit of
  • 00:28:56
    insight and and do you feel you've been
  • 00:28:58
    proven right in what you said in the
  • 00:28:59
    interview done when you first left to
  • 00:29:02
    prove that I'm right or wrong this is
  • 00:29:04
    not it's not my issues anymore I say
  • 00:29:06
    what I have to say and uh for me for me
  • 00:29:09
    it's done but to be honest real what I
  • 00:29:11
    wish for Manchester it's what I wish for
  • 00:29:13
    me the best they can make again the best
  • 00:29:16
    team they can um and I love that club
  • 00:29:20
    you know I'm not I'm not that kind of
  • 00:29:22
    guy that forgot the
  • 00:29:26
    past when I'm back there there uh I was
  • 00:29:29
    very happy I was one of the best scores
  • 00:29:32
    I did I did unbelievable things with the
  • 00:29:34
    club my first season with 37 I was the
  • 00:29:38
    third best scorer of the league I scor
  • 00:29:40
    all the group stage I scor every game
  • 00:29:44
    even in the league I scored 17 goals or
  • 00:29:46
    18 goals I did amazing but as I told you
  • 00:29:50
    Manchester they they need to
  • 00:29:53
    rebuild everything in my
  • 00:29:56
    opinion the coach they say a few a few
  • 00:30:00
    days ago that they cannot compete to win
  • 00:30:04
    the champions league and champions the
  • 00:30:06
    league and Champions League
  • 00:30:08
    imagine the coach say that all the club
  • 00:30:12
    are you cannot say if you are a
  • 00:30:15
    Manchester United coach you cannot say
  • 00:30:17
    that you're not going to fight to win
  • 00:30:19
    the the the league or Champions League
  • 00:30:21
    you have to to
  • 00:30:22
    be mentally say listen Maybe we're not
  • 00:30:27
    we don't have that potential but I
  • 00:30:29
    cannot say that we're going to try we
  • 00:30:31
    going try you have to try but but maybe
  • 00:30:34
    that was that was when we was there that
  • 00:30:36
    was the culture maybe the culture is
  • 00:30:37
    different now but they had to have a
  • 00:30:38
    reset because the standards have gone
  • 00:30:40
    down the expectations have to come down
  • 00:30:42
    yeah exactly maybe this is why I say but
  • 00:30:45
    this club needs you need time to rebuild
  • 00:30:48
    uh because he is still one of the best
  • 00:30:51
    clubs in the world but they need to
  • 00:30:53
    change and they they they understand
  • 00:30:56
    that uh is the only way and this is why
  • 00:31:00
    you show that they start to change again
  • 00:31:03
    the the structure of the club the
  • 00:31:05
    president the the the infrastructures
  • 00:31:07
    and everything the owners of the club
  • 00:31:09
    yeah they invested in the training they
  • 00:31:11
    invest in training so I'm happy
  • 00:31:14
    because I'm not happy the way the all
  • 00:31:17
    happen but in the same way we cannot
  • 00:31:20
    control some points on our life
  • 00:31:22
    sometimes but it's done already done and
  • 00:31:25
    I repeat I'm still love Manchester
  • 00:31:27
    United and I will wish them the best
  • 00:31:29
    where do you see the Promise in the
  • 00:31:30
    squad like you look at their squad now
  • 00:31:32
    you look at gacho like I'm look talking
  • 00:31:33
    about players attacking players really
  • 00:31:35
    and you see you probably look there
  • 00:31:37
    first the gonos the rashford's the hland
  • 00:31:41
    the um you look at that and you think
  • 00:31:43
    like okay where do you see the Promise
  • 00:31:45
    there I believe I believe that the
  • 00:31:47
    future will be bright bright I believe
  • 00:31:50
    but they don't depend only of the the
  • 00:31:53
    talents it's more than that it's all
  • 00:31:57
    Club all not only Players Club
  • 00:32:00
    everything as a unique United you know
  • 00:32:03
    they have to rebuild from the
  • 00:32:05
    bottom if not not they cannot compete
  • 00:32:08
    it's it's will be impossible they can do
  • 00:32:10
    good things yes they can win carava or
  • 00:32:13
    can win yeah but I mean Champions League
  • 00:32:17
    or Europa League or Premier
  • 00:32:20
    League difficult in my opinion and I
  • 00:32:23
    wish that I'm wrong I wish but will be
  • 00:32:26
    difficult do you think rude we know rude
  • 00:32:28
    he's gone back there now I think it will
  • 00:32:30
    help a lot yeah in which way what do you
  • 00:32:32
    mean now if then a listen rude maybe it
  • 00:32:37
    can I think he can help a lot because he
  • 00:32:40
    knows the club and the club should
  • 00:32:43
    listen the guys who was there you or Roy
  • 00:32:46
    keing or Paul SK or Gary nille whatever
  • 00:32:49
    Sir Alex Ferguson you cannot you cannot
  • 00:32:53
    rebuild a club without knowledge not
  • 00:32:57
    guys who work in office they understand
  • 00:33:00
    I I understand a lot of football because
  • 00:33:02
    I see football in the television every
  • 00:33:04
    day and I no this is not doesn't work
  • 00:33:07
    like that the people who understand the
  • 00:33:09
    football it was 99% is the people who
  • 00:33:12
    was there in a dressing room was player
  • 00:33:15
    who is the most successful coaches in
  • 00:33:17
    the
  • 00:33:18
    world Guardiola F they was player before
  • 00:33:22
    there was play they was in dressing room
  • 00:33:24
    they understand they know how to deal
  • 00:33:26
    with the players is the people who
  • 00:33:28
    understand the things you understand
  • 00:33:31
    true if you want to go Formula One now
  • 00:33:33
    to be in you never you don't know I
  • 00:33:35
    don't know you understand should be a
  • 00:33:38
    guys who work that it's like if you have
  • 00:33:41
    electricity problems in your house you
  • 00:33:42
    don't call the plumber you I no but I I
  • 00:33:45
    was in my computer I know how to change
  • 00:33:48
    no this doesn't work like that it's true
  • 00:33:50
    it's true you understand what I mean so
  • 00:33:52
    I believe that rude going to help
  • 00:33:54
    because he was inside the club he knows
  • 00:33:55
    the club he knows the fans
  • 00:33:58
    if the coach listen him I think they can
  • 00:34:02
    improve a little bit the club just just
  • 00:34:04
    on that point yeah you've played and and
  • 00:34:06
    we're going a bit off topic here but you
  • 00:34:07
    you've played at loads of clubs at diff
  • 00:34:09
    the top level and obviously there's
  • 00:34:11
    always been young players at all those
  • 00:34:13
    clubs what are the young players like
  • 00:34:15
    interacting with you at these clubs have
  • 00:34:17
    you got any good examples of players
  • 00:34:19
    that come to you for advice or you can
  • 00:34:21
    tell that they're watching you who are
  • 00:34:22
    those guys and what's it like I don't
  • 00:34:24
    like to mention names but not many in
  • 00:34:28
    the same way I remember when I I was 18
  • 00:34:30
    in Manchester United you know me very
  • 00:34:33
    well I'm not I don't lie I see the best
  • 00:34:36
    examples I
  • 00:34:37
    see Gary nille your example gigie Roy
  • 00:34:41
    King what what I do I check everything
  • 00:34:45
    and I take from what you do best what
  • 00:34:49
    Gary do best and I make my own
  • 00:34:52
    personality my own style my own
  • 00:34:54
    profession you understand and the play
  • 00:34:58
    today they don't do that what was it
  • 00:35:00
    about those guys what did you take for
  • 00:35:01
    me
  • 00:35:02
    then you are professional goodl looking
  • 00:35:06
    is very far from that no but you always
  • 00:35:09
    do it gym you're always strong Center
  • 00:35:11
    back strong with the good muscles in a
  • 00:35:14
    pitch but outside you do it the gym I
  • 00:35:16
    remember a lot you are a tall guy but
  • 00:35:20
    strong guy ABS with Cy and everything
  • 00:35:23
    it'd be interesting to see what one of
  • 00:35:25
    the greatest players has played what he
  • 00:35:27
    thinks about the Next Generation coming
  • 00:35:29
    now to take over the crown maybe at some
  • 00:35:31
    point like the lacks of linum out like
  • 00:35:34
    what do you see in this this young
  • 00:35:36
    player I see huge potential a great
  • 00:35:39
    talent he need luck because he's very
  • 00:35:41
    young I hope he not get some
  • 00:35:45
    problems but he's doing something even
  • 00:35:48
    new or messy has never done 16 years old
  • 00:35:50
    yes he was in contest that help him a
  • 00:35:52
    lot the the the the Spain national team
  • 00:35:55
    is really really good
  • 00:35:58
    and I think he have huge potential but
  • 00:36:00
    let's see during his way that's what's
  • 00:36:05
    going to happen but I believe that
  • 00:36:07
    you're going to do it you're going to be
  • 00:36:08
    the best the best players for this new
  • 00:36:10
    generation how impressed were you with
  • 00:36:13
    uh Jude bam coming to Real Madrid
  • 00:36:14
    obviously you know that path and that
  • 00:36:16
    journey and how difficult it can be how
  • 00:36:18
    how impressed have you been with him in
  • 00:36:19
    his first year at Real Madrid it's the
  • 00:36:21
    same it's the same it's huge huge
  • 00:36:23
    potential huge talents uh you go to the
  • 00:36:26
    club that
  • 00:36:28
    it's the environment was clean was good
  • 00:36:32
    and uh he grow he grow like the other
  • 00:36:35
    ones like kaminga like Rodrigo like
  • 00:36:39
    venicius so it's good I think he's in a
  • 00:36:41
    team that help him to be a top player
  • 00:36:44
    and I believe too that you're going to
  • 00:36:46
    be one of the best the Next Generation
  • 00:36:49
    and that takes me to your son now Chris
  • 00:36:51
    Chris Jr yes he wants to be a footballer
  • 00:36:54
    yes how would you feel about going like
  • 00:36:56
    right go on you go
  • 00:36:58
    as I told you I say I give you I give
  • 00:37:00
    you the map as example because you know
  • 00:37:02
    this generation is difficult for you to
  • 00:37:05
    tell them
  • 00:37:06
    something and uh let him them to do it
  • 00:37:11
    it's difficult your kids you you felt
  • 00:37:13
    that is really difficult but I always in
  • 00:37:15
    my mind put you will see your daddy by
  • 00:37:18
    example they see me every day what I do
  • 00:37:21
    in home in a training or in a game they
  • 00:37:25
    say my daddy's work a lot every every
  • 00:37:27
    time you understand they see that they
  • 00:37:31
    see that and uh but right in this moment
  • 00:37:35
    Christiano want to be football player
  • 00:37:36
    but I not make a a big pressure I make a
  • 00:37:38
    little bit of pressure he's 14 years old
  • 00:37:41
    how I'm going to do it it's he have the
  • 00:37:44
    pressure already to be son of Cristiano
  • 00:37:47
    imagine if I make now in the middle of
  • 00:37:49
    big lions right now let him let him do
  • 00:37:52
    it his mistakes let him do it his his
  • 00:37:55
    things but I I hope so in the future he
  • 00:37:59
    can be a professional player or if he's
  • 00:38:02
    not be a player be another job but I
  • 00:38:05
    will always will support them because we
  • 00:38:07
    cannot make a pressure in our sons
  • 00:38:09
    because we are famous and because of
  • 00:38:13
    that I don't want to make that extra
  • 00:38:15
    pressure and because you've been able to
  • 00:38:16
    give him a different life to what you
  • 00:38:18
    had yeah we we we both had we had humble
  • 00:38:20
    upbringings When We Were Young we've
  • 00:38:22
    lived good lives now yeah because of
  • 00:38:24
    football their lives are different so
  • 00:38:26
    how do you give them
  • 00:38:28
    how do you give him the work ethic by
  • 00:38:30
    example I think it's the only way I give
  • 00:38:32
    good education to my kids but by example
  • 00:38:36
    I think it's it's it's the best way to
  • 00:38:38
    try to teach them on give you my advice
  • 00:38:42
    my knowledge my
  • 00:38:44
    experience look is the TRU when you say
  • 00:38:47
    the truth something
  • 00:38:50
    happens you see the main guy five
  • 00:38:52
    Champions League they say the true
  • 00:38:55
    listen I don't lie no it's true it's
  • 00:38:57
    true you see this is why I have
  • 00:38:58
    conversation with my my friends a couple
  • 00:39:01
    days and I say my kids's going to suffer
  • 00:39:03
    your kids going to suffer because one
  • 00:39:06
    moment of the life they're going to have
  • 00:39:08
    pain you understand and the pain and
  • 00:39:11
    certainty and what they have to do it
  • 00:39:13
    constant work because nobody going to
  • 00:39:16
    help them they're going to be themselves
  • 00:39:18
    in a hard moment and they're going to
  • 00:39:20
    falling down they have to stand cry
  • 00:39:23
    alone and keep going did you always feel
  • 00:39:25
    different to everybody else like even as
  • 00:39:26
    a kid at sporting growing up and then
  • 00:39:28
    when you signed United you got big did
  • 00:39:30
    you always feel that you was a bit
  • 00:39:32
    special I felt that my education was
  • 00:39:36
    different the environment that I born
  • 00:39:38
    was
  • 00:39:39
    different and the mindset was different
  • 00:39:43
    as well but if you ask
  • 00:39:45
    me why I don't know I don't know why we
  • 00:39:49
    because I think all human beings we are
  • 00:39:51
    kind of we have some talent and we are
  • 00:39:54
    unique we are special in some way and
  • 00:39:57
    and uh I not say I'm more special than
  • 00:39:59
    you or more special than him I was
  • 00:40:01
    different and I take advantage for my
  • 00:40:04
    contest the help that I have with my my
  • 00:40:07
    family the closest friends that I always
  • 00:40:09
    surround listen the last one I one more
  • 00:40:12
    question what will you miss though man
  • 00:40:14
    you're going to have to give up this
  • 00:40:15
    game one day and I know you're you're
  • 00:40:16
    the kind of a guy who wants to play to
  • 00:40:18
    for another four or five years yeah if
  • 00:40:20
    you do that you deserve it but when you
  • 00:40:23
    finally take your boots off for the last
  • 00:40:25
    time what what would be one of the
  • 00:40:26
    couple of things that that you go you
  • 00:40:28
    know what I'm going to miss that like I
  • 00:40:29
    I I miss when I go into a stadium on the
  • 00:40:31
    big moments I think that I'm not get I'm
  • 00:40:35
    going to miss I'm not going to have the
  • 00:40:38
    adrenaline that score a goal or to be in
  • 00:40:42
    AIT to be nervous you know to be I think
  • 00:40:44
    I'm going to miss that because other
  • 00:40:47
    parts I'm you know I'm in a good control
  • 00:40:49
    I have people around me I have good
  • 00:40:50
    business who give good I have good
  • 00:40:53
    things good incomes that but I think
  • 00:40:56
    that enough football never going to
  • 00:40:58
    exist more this is why I'm going a
  • 00:41:01
    little bit further than football because
  • 00:41:03
    with 40s you
  • 00:41:05
    say I give everything yeah you
  • 00:41:08
    understand 40 or 41 or 42 it doesn't
  • 00:41:10
    matter you say I give my body for 25
  • 00:41:15
    years of football I cannot give more
  • 00:41:17
    because you know the H don't allows to
  • 00:41:19
    go more further for example this is why
  • 00:41:22
    I'm extend you understand my longevity
  • 00:41:25
    and this is why I take care of myself of
  • 00:41:27
    keep working because I know that two
  • 00:41:29
    three years more I still can produce
  • 00:41:31
    something good this is why I told you
  • 00:41:34
    let me thinking in the present I do it
  • 00:41:36
    other the part I prepare my business
  • 00:41:39
    area which is going very very very
  • 00:41:42
    well I will be Miss of course I will
  • 00:41:44
    miss probably I will be a little bit uh
  • 00:41:48
    lost for lost but listen what I'm going
  • 00:41:51
    to do you think I'm going to cry with
  • 00:41:54
    all life that I have yeah maybe a little
  • 00:41:56
    bit cuz I'm I become more sensitive but
  • 00:41:59
    I will be a little bit like that but I
  • 00:42:03
    have other things to worry another going
  • 00:42:06
    to be another chapter of my life which
  • 00:42:08
    is a business part that I'm excited to
  • 00:42:13
    and that will be a challenge for me and
  • 00:42:14
    learn other areas that I really don't
  • 00:42:16
    know be more involved in my business and
  • 00:42:20
    I'm surround a very very very good heads
  • 00:42:24
    which is for me the key to have
  • 00:42:25
    successful outside the football as well
  • 00:42:27
    in a business part it's to have people
  • 00:42:31
    smarter than you and you have to be uh
  • 00:42:36
    uh capable to understand that I'm I
  • 00:42:39
    think I'm smart in football but in other
  • 00:42:41
    areas have people much more smarter than
  • 00:42:44
    me so you have to be surround with them
  • 00:42:45
    to learn with them and you make your own
  • 00:42:48
    style and to be good with this people to
  • 00:42:52
    the business go up in my opinion well
