Cristiano Ronaldo’s agent has claimed the Real Madrid forward should be credited for transforming the club in recent years.
The forward arrived at the Santiago Bernabeu in 2009 and has been a key part of the side that has enjoyed o much success over the past five years. He has netted more than 50 goals a season for Los Blancos for the past four years, and helped his side to an unprecedented four titles in 2014 – the Champions League, European Super Cup, Copa del Rey and Club World Cup.
He is in the running for his second consecutive Ballon d’Or in January, and Jorge Mendes says he deserves a lot of recognition for putting the club back at the very top of the global game.
Speaking in an interview with Globoesporte, he stated: “With respect to players that were great like Raúl or Di Stefano, there is no comparison with Cristiano Ronaldo.”
He added: “Cristiano Ronaldo began Real Madrid’s transformation, it wasn’t like it is now five or six years ago. There was no Barcelona, who the entire world considered the best team in the world.”
And Mendes confirmed his client would be at the club for many more years, saying: “He’ll stay with Real Madrid for a long time because he still has a lot of things we wants to accomplish with the club.”
I don’t think mendes know what he is saying,which transformation did cr7 bring to the barnabue,he only won two trophi before bale arive,he cr7 came to madrid to pursue personal glory
