AM 'I'm tired of all the Messi comparisons' - Cristiano Ronaldo

Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo is tired of comparisons
with Barcelona rival Lionel Messi and understands why
some people must dislike his personality or the ways he
sees football. Speaking ahead of the release of his
personal film "Ronaldo", the FIFA World Player of the
Year told Reuters TV that he is "not a fake person."
"I have my style, he has his style, his own style," he
said of Messi, his greatest rival. "We have to respect
that people compare all the time. And it is normal, we
are compared since we are babies, I don´t mean me and
Messi but all the persons in school. Who is more clever,
who is more fast, it´s normal, it´s part of the life.
"It does not surprise me any more but some times it
makes me tired because it´s always same thing and they
still repeat and repeat, one year, another year, every
year."
Critics say the Portugal forward's celebrations
sometimes have an air of arrogance or egoism about
them. Added to the fact that Ronaldo is never shy to
show his muscles or make defiant gestures after scoring.
He startled the audience at this year's World Player of
the Year award by bellowing "Sim" (yes) into the
microphone after he was announced as the Balloon d'or
2014 winner.
Asked why people may dislike him, Ronaldo said:
"Maybe the way I am, my personality, the way I see
football. I´m not a fake person. It´s normal, it´s part of
the business. No one can control that,"
Ronaldo's film, due to be released on Nov 9, depicts the
striker as a family man and shows how he lives on and
off the pitch.
In a separate interview with the BBC, Ronaldo described
himself as "unbelievable on the pitch."
"I don't need to say 'I'm in the history of football, I'm a
legend'. The numbers say everything," he said.
"I have to say to be in my shoes is not easy. But I'm not
complaining. I just want to say that. I feel happy. All this
happens because of a reason. The reason is I'm
unbelievable inside the pitch."
"This is why the people have so much interest on me.
So it's as simple as that. I'm good, I'm happy, I'm
motivated all the time. I'm very professional and I want
to carry on like that."
