In a recent interview, Rafael Leao made some remarks regarding Cristiano Ronaldo that sparked a great deal of criticism.

When Rafael Leao made a statement regarding Ronaldo, it sparked a lot of commotion.

While playing for the Portuguese national team, Rafael Leao and Cristiano Ronaldo have been teammates for a considerable amount of time. The striker for AC Milan looks up to CR7 as a role model in his professional life. 

Nevertheless, Rafael Leao is not completely content with Ronaldo because there are still aspects of him that he does not like. In a recent interview, the player who was born in 1999 made a veiled reference to the fact that his senior play was rather self-centered. 

Rafael Leao was asked about what is lacking in order to achieve the level of Cristiano Ronaldo after he said that Ronaldo is his idol and that he wears the number 7 shirt of his favorite player. In addition, the Portuguese footballer disclosed the following:

“I am capable of that level, but I will not play in a self-centered manner. Not only am I capable of scoring goals, but I can also provide assists. I will give the ball to a member of my squad if they are in a more advantageous position than I am..

When it comes to playing football at the greatest level, statistics will be the driving force behind your success. This was accomplished by Kylian Mbappe, Lionel Messi, and Erling Haaland. I believe that I am capable of doing the same thing as they are.

Also, the striker, who is 24 years old, has a healthy amount of self-assurance in his own talents. He is of the opinion that the performance he has demonstrated over the course of the past few years is not much less than that of other players of the same age.
