Former enfant terrible of Italian football, Antonio Cassano has become a host on Twitch where he is in charge of
Long live football. The opportunity for him to say what he thinks, without filter, as he has always done. Perfect enough to provoke a reaction even in France. This time, he attacked Cristiano Ronaldo.
But it was not on his media that the former Real Madrid player did it. In an interview with AS, published this Wednesday, he was invited to talk about his career and the players who fascinated him. At the top, Antonio Cassano placed Lionel Messi.
“He plays at another level. In the entire history of football, there has never been anyone like him. He is above all the authors and he remains an admirable phenomenon at almost forty years old. »
The forty-year-old also cited Lamine Yamal, Raphinha and Rodrygo. However, he has not forgotten Francesco Totti. “He was one of my biggest idols. » Then he added the name of a two-time World Cup winner. And that’s when he tackled Cristiano Ronaldo.
Cristiano Ronaldo, “half of half” of Ronaldo
“I had the chance to play with Ronaldo Nazario. As a center forward, I have never seen a player like him. He was absolutely fabulous and capable of turning a match around. If he could have avoided injury, he would have reached unimaginable heights. This was the real Ronaldo, not Cristiano, who is only half of half of what Ronaldo was, El Fenómeno. »
An opinion which clashes with the recent declaration of CR7 who did not hesitate to compare himself to the legends of football: Pelé and Diego Armando Maradona.
