Former Manchester United defender Nemanja Vidic has described Real Madrid striker Cristiano Ronaldo as one of the best professionals he has ever seen.
The pair played for the Red Devils for three seasons together and won three Premier League titles as well as the Champions League before Ronaldo joined Los Blancos in 2009 for a world record fee.
Speaking to the BBC, Vidic, who went on to play for Inter Milan for 18 months before retiring earlier this season said the Portuguese is more committed to football than anyone he has ever known.
The defender said: “Cristiano was a funny guy; he liked to laugh and make jokes. True, sometimes he didn’t take them happily but in spite of that Cristiano was great for the dressing room. But he was also one of the best professionals I ever saw. He was committed to football.”
And he added: “Cristiano had big expectations for himself and wanted to achieve great things. That drove him to train hard to improve. For that I respect Cristiano a lot. He is one of the best professionals I ever saw. There were a lot of very talented players but they were not committed to football. They would not give 100% of their capabilities. They don’t work outside of the training pitch.”
