Former Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney has described Al-Nassr forward Cristiano Ronaldo as ‘selfish.’ According to Rooney, Ronaldo’s primary focus is on scoring goals, in contrast to his rival Lionel Messi, who strives to create goal-scoring opportunities for teammates.
In a recent interview, former Chelsea winger Eden Hazard claimed to be a superior ‘pure footballer’ compared to Ronaldo. Rooney, in a conversation with YouTubers Lyes Bouzidi and CultureCams, supported Hazard’s statement, emphasizing the difference in mindset between Ronaldo and players like Messi and himself.
Rooney expressed, “So, for instance, Cristiano Ronaldo, his mindset is goals. He doesn’t care about anything else; it’s goals, that’s all he wants. Whereas you look at Messi, he wants to play a bit more. I suppose that’s what Hazard is saying; he liked to play – exactly like myself.”
