Real Madrid star
Cristiano Ronaldo rates
Chelsea fullback Ashley Cole his
toughest opponent.
Cole admitted last week he missed his clashes with the former
Manchester United star.
Ronaldo told
Sport-Express: "Ashley Cole. He's a very tough, tenacious
football player. And others don't miss an opportunity.
"In England players are constantly tackling. Everyone tries to
kick you. But if you're in good physical shape and quick enough,
then you can dodge it.
"There are more injuries, blows, tackles and players are more
physical. In general, it's much more of a battle (in England).
Referees don't protect players as much and aren't always whistling
for fouls.
"All the same, I still like the English league. That and the
Spanish league are the best two national championships in the
world."
