Ronaldo Confused About Zidane, Reveals Football Role Model

Brazilian legend Ronaldo Nazário, who is currently president of La Liga club Real Valladolid, revealed the best player he trained with, and his role model in the world of football.

Ronaldo said in an interview with "France Football" magazine that the current Real Madrid FC coach, Zinedine Zidane, is the best player he trained with, pointing to the difficulty of determining Zidane's preference as a coach or as a player.

Commenting on Zidane’s career, he added, “Zizou was the best player I trained and played with, and now he is a coach and won 3 consecutive Champions League championships. If I ask myself today, who is the best, Zidane, the coach or the player? I cannot answer.”

Regarding his icon in the world of football, Ronaldo explained: "Of course it was Marco van Basten, as I have watched Italian football since childhood. There is also Maradona and Johan Cruyff, as well as Zico because he used to play in Flamengo, and I was a fan of this team."

Ronaldo continued, saying: "I tried to come out with something from all of them, and in the end I can say that I am proud of the path I have gone through," according to the Spanish newspaper AS.

It is worth noting that Ronaldo retired from football in 2011 after a long career of achievements in the world of football, on top of which was crowned the World Cup twice in 1994 and 2002.
