Cristiano Ronaldo Interview in Turkey (19 June 2011)

Cristiano Ronaldo was being interviewed during his time in Istanbul, Turkey. Here are some of the interview that was taken on his hotel room. The translation probably a bit weird, but it's pretty much about it....

Do you follow Turkish Football ?
CR : No, I don't. I only know Besiktas coz one of my close friend from Portugal team, Almeida plays for them.

What did your friend from Portugal told you about Besiktas ?
CR: I heard from Quaresma. He told me at first he was afraid about the fans atmosphere here. But I understand it's because people here loves football. That's normal...


What do you think about Mesut Ozil ?
CR : He is a great player, he can adapt well in the team.

You always compared to Messi . What do you think about that ?
CR : I don't care. I have my own style to play football, and besides, I only interested in winning the team.


You always concern of your body, what did you do to be in that shape ?
CR : I don't have special training, I exercise like other people do. I eat everything. Unlike other people think, I like to sleep early. I sleep better. And I don't go out at night much.

As the highest paid footballer, how do you keep your money ?
CR : I'm doing real estate, invest in a stock, and also keep in the bank.

Will you join Turkey club someday ? Does it appeals you?
CR : We never know the future. Never say never. It's my most important principles. IF the offer is good, of course I would come.

The interviewer then noticed that at breakfast earlier, Ronaldo kissed Irina's cheek, and gently touched her hair. So he asks :

Do you think love can help your performance ?
CR : To love someone is always a happy thing. Someone who's in love can show the best performance on the pitch. So love can be a positive affect for footballer, coz they can play well on the field.

Is it for you too ?
CR : Yes, of course....I'm in love too...!!
