Big Lenny Official TH-cam
How is he a legend? U don't watch ball do u?
So excited! Been a proud Juventus fan since 7/10/18!
ahahahahahhhahahahahahahahhahahahah
At least you admit it
Shameless lmao
😂😂😂
1234ishjohn 😂😆🤣✌
as a barcelona and messi fan.. i have always loved ronaldo.. repsected him. sad to see him leave. i hope he plays well more years to come.
u are a leg NEVER CHANGE
Same
I prefer Messi but it doesn't mean Ronaldo is a bad player. I have always admired him and said he is really great it's just that I like Messi more. Both are great not cause you like one means the other one doesn't know how to play, those are immature fans who need to grow up
D 3 I prefer Ronaldo
This comment thread is matured af
You make a lot sense. Perhaps you are the only barca/Messi fan that says such sensible things.
Cristiano the GOAT Ronaldo
facts
Didn’t show up in the World Cup when it mattered
Dat Boi learn how to spell messi kid
You mean messi right?
Falcon Z wrong he mispelled messi
This guy has it all. Brain (speaks multiple languages), great family, amazing player, money, looks, the generosity. Legend.
Go leafs go
now he started looking old from 37 i guess but he was very charismatic in his prime years.@thepoor7680
He is almost 34 and irony is he is still on the top of all 👏👏
White Shadow Dude works hard on his body.. takes very good care of himself he's like a machine similar to LeBron in that aspect
He's as healthy as ever
Top of all? He was never in top of all. Lol
@@focsavictor8941 5 balon Dors say otherwise
Nicolás García lols. Okay. So modric last year was the best player in the world cause he got the balon dor? Check the videos man, the games, the movement of the players. Michael Owen got a ballon Dor and Raul, Rooney, Torres, Suarez and others 0. So Owen is better than this players cause he has won one? The genius of a player can t be seen in stats or prizes. You measure Federer genius by his trophyes? Or ronnie o sullivan by his world cups? No. Check this year betis-barca and you will see a chip shop from the edge of the box. You will see standing ovation from opponents. I never saw a no look pass from messi or any useless skill. Still at 30 he has the most dribblings done per game. And the most goals. And assists. How many top 100 mil players are out there and still can t keep up with him... cause he is the Goat. He don t dive.. he is a joy to watch. Ronaldo is much bigger and looks fitter than Messi, still goes down like a bitch at every touch. Wtf .. i play with my friends and when one of us is down you are sure it s a fault. Cause we play for the joy of the game.. another thing is that i m a red devil, and i cryed when ronaldo lost euro final against greece and i go at football with a ronaldo shirt. I search this video to check him out cause i like Ronaldo. But he is not close to Messi.
Lol. He said higuain😂
Lord Paulinho I thought the same thing lol . Thought he was gonna say Dybala
Happy Hour i think this video is pretty old because he Said that in an interview at least 50 procent of everything Here so thats not the point
Lol he said Lehuan in nba ..lol but all jokes aside his English is pretty good ..I e of my fav players
Lord Paulinho This is a old interview Higuain had just come off his big scoring season at Napoli I think
Lord Paulinho who knows more a all time goat or a bum on the internet
Newest Juventus fan here
Ronaldo fan boy
Ur just mad he didn't go to PSG
aaaaaand another plastic bites the dust
Fkn glory hunter!
As a Milan fan it's great for serie A but sucks for the other teams. I think his arrival might convince top players in other league to come to serie A and that will be a rebirth for the league if it happens.
Iconic
You are everywhere when I watch FIFA News I see you in the comment section when I watch NBA News I see you in the comment section
Taco Rio I know, I see him from nba vids to soccer, to fortnite and shit
Tony Hemetona fuck off indian.
It’s getting annoying that I see you everywhere you just comment on every vid you see huh
Tony Hemetona Bruh I see you comment every where, basketball, football, xxx videos you name it
He’s not arrogant nor cocky, it’s just pure confidence....
Since athletes become stronger as the sport evolve, Cristiano is The Best player in The world and better than all the previous once when they were his age
So humble
This reporter sounds like he is talking to a philosopher: "I care more about the man than the game".... Ronaldo was like "ehhh, time to say something deep"
Sorry pele and Sorry maradona, Ronaldo and Messi is the greatest players of all time. Point blank Period
C. Ronaldo is not even close to Ronaldinho Gaucho or Ronaldo 9 what are u taking about. Ronaldinho inspired CR7 stop it .
Prod. KLAVi Ronaldinho is just a 3 season wonder only. Ronaldo have been on top for 10 years.
Football not sooccer Ronaldinho birthed Christiano Ronaldo. CR7s league is also very less competitive this era.
Prod. KLAVi
No, Ronaldinho is overrated. And he wasn't as consistent.
martin53mattsson The sport was at a lower level back then than it is today.
Marcelo should follow him
CHELSEA FC Marcelo is the most underrated player in the world.
Marcelo, Oizil and James should. Imagine those 4 together. Isn't Dani Alves there too?
Ronaldo didn’t speak to Marcelo for a year because Marcelo said Ronaldo AND Messi were the best players in the world 😂😂
Antony Quigley Ozil doesn't fit juve's style, he isnt a hard working player and he doesn't defend. Dani Alves doesn't play there anymore he plays for psg now.
And Modrić too 😂
The GOAT always will be my favorite player no matter what team he’s on
"The clasico" will never be the same
İt didn't be ...
He was talking about the best players and when he mentioned Higuain I was dying 😂😂
Ronaldo and Messi are the best EVER. What other players have been at the top of the game for nearly 2 decades? Both evolving with the game and still managing to stay on top. Incredible to be able to watch them live, we're a lucky bunch.
Couldn't have said it better myself.
@@SosaHDH tell me one player who was on top of the world for 15 years like both messi and ronaldo
Magnificent player. A great role model.
Im so excited for my next step as a Juventus fan!!
Rolando Gutierrez boi😂
Time to change fam I guess 🤣
he talks just like scarface LMAO
Aerdou
Scarface?
Tony Montana the political refugee??
Was their a Portuguese version of scarface because he doesn't talk like him
Aerdou no he doesn't you roasted donut!
its Portuguese accent , people that speak Latin languages have that accent
Say hello to his little Friend 😂😂😂😂
He’s Portuguese idiot. English is probably his 5th language.
That is his confidence.. 💪
Cristiano always the best ❤❤
I don't know how anyone can knock this man, he's a quality human being as well as one of the greatest ever football players.
Any haters are just jealous, simple as that.
2:21 savage😂👏
I like messi and ronaldo. More people should be like me👍🏽
Lord Paulinho but you actually like paulinho...what a low class..lol
Lord Paulinho 100%
Juventus has got a new fan....
I'm always following him and I'll continue to do so..CR7 😘 forever
CR7 = a full blwn TRANNY!!
Everyone I know calls him arrogant, but introverts often are confused for arrogant, something which he clearly is.
This man grew up without a present dad.
He made sure he learned, accepted, and thrived with the hardest lessons and challenges in life, and the biggest one is exactly family.
Ronaldo is the best of all time.
Messi is. Ronaldo is just a tapin merchant
Just XHuman finally someone with brain ... R9 was at an absolute another level
Pele way better than both of them
BD Messi is the tap in queen. You're blinded by hate. Pfft
Cruyff imo. And then R9
When he said "with Higuain" I burst into laughter
Higuain scored 34 serie a goals respect please
Pipa was the best striker in his prime
I am going juventus with Ronaldo.
Go ahead Ronaldo ... ??
love you a lot cr7.
Saddam The Positive Boy lol u supported real Madrid because of Ronaldo . Lmao . Plastic.
Sriram Mannar that's sad...
Plastic snake spotted.
highlight reel lots of plastics will be discovered 😂
extremedude1234 that's been known now but yea 😂
I got diabetes, Down syndrome, dry eyes, cystic fibrosis, heart attack and cancer when he said Higuain.
Lol
Savage AF
Top scorer ever for a serie A season? I'd like to see you do that.
he had to say that as it's his team mate probably. :D
higuain was very good in his real madrid days he was the only attacker that almost took benzima's place in the main line up but kids won't know that cuz they started watching football from 2014
I'm officially a Juventus fan =] Hopefully the whole Juventus family will welcome me with open arms
Dragon Balls lol
They won't accept you because you are a plastic fan
Pro Noobster yep. He is a traitor.
Dragon Balls why ? Bc youre a bandwagon? Bc when ronaldo leaves you wont support juve no more? Get on plastic fan!
Pro Noobster tf is a plastic fan. He's a ronaldo fan clearly. Let him do tf he wants. Have a nice day.
Ronaldo is one of the best among his generation this interview makes him to another level as I was driven when he said said family first, stay competitive and above all a good person that he clearly displayed his sportsmanship when he help cavani off the field . CR7 I wish you many more tiles and good in your new family Juventus continue to inspire the young generations of soccer player s,,, salute you always
“The best players always follow the best players.”
“The most important thing is money.”
Cristiano Ronaldo
He followed a certain number 10 to Spain in 2009 and the rest was history. Absolutely magical
Wow, it’s amazing to see someone who is a true athlete and also an incredibly intellectual individual
"the press" , the way he said it !
What I like about Cristiano Ronaldo is he speaks from the heart! He doesn’t pretend to get a good boy image like “I don’t compare myself with others” bla bla bla..!
He's one smart man 😊. The way he delivers his answers... I'm like why great players like him gives good answers. I mean... Him, Black Mamba and Masha 😁😁😁
Ronaldo joining Juventus was iconic, good memories!
Everything is „the most important“ for him 😂😂
Love him.
Glad he mentioned lewondowski he’s really underrated defo the best striker in the world for me! Respect Ronaldo.
GOAT
This man is legitimately best ever. At first I wasn't the biggest fan but after I understood this man more Its undeniable imo.
I can't believe he said higuain
Legend 🤘one and only #Cristiano
The Goat
just love it VEVO just stop acting like messi is the greatest of all time you messi fanboy.
👍🏼 Family is the most important
Lebron and now CR7. the same motive behind their moves Family and Lifestyle. But boy Curry and Messi may have it easy this coming Season.
Loki football isn't basketball Real Madrid still the best team in spain they didn't even need Ronaldo to win the ucl in semis and the final Ronaldo is great not saying hes not but Real Madrid will be fine
But Curry having it easy isn't his fault. He's had it hard earlier in his career and still is on the same team
barca won the league and copa del rey with ease mate
Loki Messi physically can't leave Barcelona. They'd ask for a ridiculous price tag since he's the all time topscorer of la Liga and all time top assister. Ronaldo is 33 and asked for a move so obviously real would let him go
ACE ik im a barca fan but real have the better squad they underachieved big time
Love the honesty. Controversial or not. Who would you want taking your free kick, or penalty shot, who would you want on the other end of cross, who would you want to have the ball in crunch time, if your honest, it’s that man, he’s the goat.
How lucky we are to have witness the two best players of all time, lets put the compassions aside and embrace the beauty of futbol and the gift of witnessing the two best ever.
So true brother.
P.s. love the car picture
Wtf isn't this interviewer a NASCAR analyst? I know it's ESPN and they obviously aren't known for their coverage of soccer (sorry I know that word triggers people but I'm an American that's what we call it), but they couldn't at least get someone from ESPN FC who actually covers the sport? I'm not really even a fan of the sport but damn, show some respect to a legend.
todd brown he does a little of everything now since ESPN barely covers NASCAR
Soccer, Fútbol, Foot-diving, Futbullshit. Foot-flop it's all the same boring sport.
I'd rather sit and watch 2 flies fuck
Kanye West Kardashian simpleton
D J Clarke you pikey.
todd brown he also covers college football for espn . soo
Focus, Motivated, Exciting - listen to almost every ronaldo interview and you will hear that :-) Man doesn't change!
1:11 when my friend farts
Lol 🤣🤣🤣
Without family we’re nothing..respect Cr7
as a messi fan i have to say he is the most complete player ever, most professional athlete and top 3 player of all time
#appreciate_greatness
Omid Fateh top 3 of all time. I'd say he's the best ever messi #2 and pele #3
idkwt2use , we can argue about that
The Family. This is the Goat mindset. Congrats Português da bom da poha!
If ur are watching this in 2021 ur are legend ‼️‼️‼️‼️
And there's really people out there thinking this guy hates Messi smh.
This is the best human ( Example ).
In many concepts in this life, not only soccer. We’re lucky to live while he exists 👑
I think this is a part of why hes the best player to ever play football, some say hes arrogant and cocky but i just think he knows hes the best and his mentality is a winners mentality. Thats why he'll always be my idol
hala Juventus Y nada mas
ssssiiiiiuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
Hala Juventus Y nada mas jJUVENTUS!
Hala Juventus Y nada mas hala el chapo y nada mas
There's nothing called as Hala juventus
It's Forza juve
Hala Juventus Y nada mas it's not hala it's forca juventus bro
I had Messi as the greatest football till the world-cup. Ronaldo has heart, and he is a fighter. And he has moved to play in the top 3 strongest leagues today.
Now Seria A is my favorite league after premier league!!! Go go go Ronaldo GOAT
Die hard Juventus fan since 7/10/2018
This guy has played in all different styles of football and deserves respect. Messi has always stay in the same club. Messi need to move on. Ronaldo is the best player in the world. He always looking for a challenge. That why Messi always disappoints me.
Ted Lee No Messi doesn’t. Barca with the new contract is paying him more money than any club will. Also, Barca saved his lift basically.
The most important thing is #FAMILY that is the reason why he is successful in every aspect.
I've been a jJUVENTUS fan since July 11 2018
We love you ronaldo from humble real fan
Juventus new Gsw of football
There are alot of teams in Soccer that are comparable to MLB clubs, which don't have to follow salary-caps either. The Warriors actually have adhere to a salary-caps and pay a luxury tax if they go over. So I'd say the NBA is alot more fair compared to the MLB and multiple soccer leagues
More like LA Lakers
salmonella barbatuia tbh i saw Lakers
Not at all
Fuck off golden state wanker juve ain't like yall and cousins ain't gonna help you
Being of Portuguese descent I have cousins who talk just like him in English I had to giggle a little , your a good man keep on being you and yes your family is the most important they are always going to be there for you.
Ronaldo is savage！！
Iam going to Juvantus with Ronaldo
love you king
Z Media You know you’re a fresh bandwagoner when you haven’t even gotten down the name of the team you’re bandwagoning yet.
Now he is truly confident
I don't follow the records the records follows me... Cristiano
Handsome Cristiano❤
all the best always in everything😊
His words always become adoration
I don't care what anyone says or what your personal issue is with ronaldo but this guy is levels above everyone including messi, he just keeps on winning titles and breaking records even at an age in which almost any player would begin to decline it's honestly amazing what he continues to prove with his hard work and dedication
Matthew sanabria bruh , u dumb?
Kenneth Rozario What part of that comment Your Apeshit Brain could not understand
That comment is an Opinion and Nothing about that is Wrong
STOP ACTING LIKE A DICKHEAD
*DUMBASS*
Aditya Waghmare lmao when an "opinion" says things which facts prove otherwise , yeah it's called being dumb
U salty hypocrite
Matthew sanabria what DO u mean with "including Messi ".why bring Messi into this shit???you hate him don't ya.
riddle 143 actually I don't I like messi, the only player I dislike is neymar because he is a drama queen. I include messi because everyone says he is the best but honestly ronaldo has been performing better in the past few years
Man U fan ever since Ronaldo was there. Ronaldo is my favorite player
I've always respected Juventus but now I really respect Juventus. LoL
Did anyone else get chills when he said “ we the best players in the world” like that made my day idk why but it did 🙂
MY IDOL! 💙💪🏻
The world's best athletic@CR7......I am a great fan of yours
Im a big juventus fan and am so happy ronaldo is going to play there! But messi will forever be my favourite player of all time. Both deserve massive respect and are undenyably the best of all time in certain aspects. But face it, there is no real goat in every way. They are completely different players. Real football fans dont hate either.
Real talk; Family is everything. All the rest comes and goes. #Respect
CR7 yo will get a great season at JV n yo will win champion league too 💯💯
Greatest of All Time - no question for me.
American interviewer ffs.
Dude asked tough questions.
I love Cristiano Ronaldo.
This is some GOAT language... better take notes 📝
Cristiano Ronaldo is the best player to ever step the earth, he is a true inspiration for me and will always be somebody I look up to.
Notorious KJ for you only bro..
I'm going to Juventus with Ronaldo what do yall want?
Get me a signed Juventus Jersy of Ronaldo please.
Been a juventus fan since the ronaldo days
As a Messi fan love rhisb
He really is the man.
I honestly disliked Ronaldo until he joined Juve so respect man
I_Bing_U Stephen You dislike him because he kept robbing trophies off you.😂
I only disliked him when we played Real because I figured we would lose every time
you disliked real madrid not ronaldo... lets be honest here
Haider Ali Can’t deny that lol 😂
mAxWell_LB7 yea
Wow such a grounded solid individual. And to think he is arguably the GOAT of soccer. Very admirable.
This is OLD
Haise Sasaki wtf
it's Archives
facts
it clearly says espn archives
N. Amauri Cristiano ... but GOLD.
Didn’t know he spoke English. Lol Never heard him speak it.
Ruben Srk I hope you are joking lmao. He has done a lot of interviews with the English media .
The fuck? Did you just start watching football?
Here in Portugal we put subtitles in tv shows and cinema so we grow up listening to several languages.
English is mandatory in the 5th grade and a second language on the 7th grade of school. It´s very common for us to speak more than 3 languages.
Trust me for a native Portuguese his English is atrocious.
He played in England for 6 years....
Bradley Owusu he played in England dumbass
I love that they got a college football personality to interview CR7, goes to show also how talented and personable Marty is!
Ronaldo is better than Messi
ahahahahaha
extremedude1234 You need you rethink your understand of football if you think ronaldo is better than messi. Messi literally does everything while ronaldo just stands in the box and waits for a tap in or penalty lmao
Angel Aroche
Ronaldo is better than Messi???
In speaking English?
Plucking his eyebrows?
Getting an even tan?
Tying his shoes?
Not even in your wildest dreams
Messi is overrated
