Juventus midfielder, Critiano Ronaldo says he deserves a sixth Ballon D'or award over rivals including Antoine Griezmann, Luka Modric, Kylian Mbappe and Lionel Messi.
"I said many times, winning a sixth Ballon d'Or is not an obsession," Ronaldo said in a France Football interview. "And I do not ask the question in these terms. "I already know, in my heart, that I
am one of the best players in history. Of course I want to win, this sixth Ballon d'Or! "It would be a lie to tell you the opposite. I work for that. As I work to score goals and win games without being an obsession. The Ballon d'Or, yes, I think I deserve it." The 33 year old who moved to Juventus in a record deal of €112million says he did so because the President of Real Madrid saw as a business
entity rather than having any form of relationship with him. "He only ever looked at me as a business relationship," Ronaldo added. "I know it. What he told me never came from the heart. "I felt it inside the club, especially from the president, that they no longer considered me the same way that they did in the start. "In the first four or five years there, I had the feeling of being 'Cristiano Ronaldo'. Less afterwards. The president looked at me through eyes that didn't want to say the same thing, as if I was
no longer indispensable to them, if you know what I mean. "That's what made me think about leaving. Sometimes I'd look at the news, where they were saying I was asking to leave. There was a bit of that, but the truth is that I always had the impression that the president would not hold me back. "If it had all been about money, I'd have moved to China, where I would have earned five times as much than here [at Juve] or at Real. I did not come to Juve for the money. I earned the same in Madrid, if not more. "The difference is that, at Juve, they really wanted me. They told me that and made it clear. They showed me that." He added.
