Cristiano Ronaldo was named a global ambassador of Emirates in an event that took place in the press room at the Alfredo Di Stéfano stadium
Cristiano Ronaldo: “It's the best airline in the world and I am proud to be part of this family”.
Cristiano Ronaldo spoke about the fun advert he filmed with Pelé for the occasion: “It was very special and good fun. I had a great time and the advert shows that it was fun to film. Filming on a plane was fantastic. I really want to fly on that plane again. The quality is astonishing. Being with a legend like Pelé is spectacular. Generations change and he belonged to a fantastic generation. I was able to show him the respect we have for his generation. Pelé always set an example to me”.
Cristiano Ronaldo: "DEDICATING YOUR ENTIRE BEING IS THE MAIN WEAPON FOR SUCCESS".
Cristiano Ronaldo: “People have to follow their dreams. It's not easy. It is good to want it and you have to work constantly. I love being a footballer and the most important thing is to be yourself”.
Cristiano Ronaldo: “When I was a kid I looked up to the players in the Portugal team and I wanted to be like them. My goal was to play for Portugal like Figo and Rui Costa. I played my first match at 18”.
Cristiano Ronaldo about Portugal at the World Cup: “We have a good team but you also have Spain, Brazil, Germany and Argentina. They are all favourites and that is good for us because there is no pressure on us. I am very confident, but we are going to take it step by step and match by match. The match against Germany will be difficult, but I think we can have a good World Cup”.
Cristiano Ronaldo: “I'll try and watch as many matches as I can. It's a fantastic competition in one month. We'll be following Brazil and above all Spain, where I have a lot of friends”
