Real
Madrid coach Jose Mourinho
has been fielding questions
as to who he regards to be the best player in the World, and he
unequivocally selected his very own Cristiano Ronaldo as number
one.
The Portuguese boss was interviewed by Telemadrid
regarding the development of his project at the Santiago Bernabeu,
and his opinion on who the superior player between Ronaldo and
Barcelona rival Lionel Messi is.
Comparing the two, Mourinho responded, “There are two options –
Cristiano, and Messi. If you consider Cristiano to be one, then
Messi is two. But for me it is clear – Cristiano is number
one.”
The former Chelsea coach also hinted that if he were only able to
triumph in one tournament this season, he would greatly enjoy
becoming the first coach to successfully defend their Champions
League title the following season, after his exploits with Inter
during 2009-10.
He remarked, “The Champions League is the competition of
competitions. It’s the most important and largest in terms of
quality.
“I do not want to sound selfish, but I want the Champions League
this year because I want to defend my title, but to also bring it
to Real Madrid where it belongs.”
