The showdown in the Champions League between Manchester Untied and
Inter is rapidly approaching, with the first-leg set to take place on
February 24.
Earlier this year, Inter boss Jose Mourinho claimed
he believes that Red Devils winger, Cristiano Ronaldo, was overrated
and that Nerazzurri striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic was the better player.
Ronaldo won the Champions League last season with Manchester United and
also was awarded the Ballon d'Or.
"I respect the opinion of
everyone, but the trophies that count are at my house," responded the
Portuguese player in an interview with RaiSport.
"Inter
are a strong team, with some great players, but we are better than them
and I strongly believe we can beat them. Eliminating them will bring us
one step closer to the final."
Ronaldo also commented on
international teammate Ricardo Quaresma, who did not succeed in his
first six months at Inter under 'The Special One' and is now on loan to
Chelsea.
"Ricardo is a major talent and it's a sin he did not
have the time to demonstrate his value," claimed the 24-year-old. "It
is probably due to the fact he was bought for a lot of money and there
was too much pressure in Italy; it won't be easy for him [to recover]
now."
Cristiano Ronaldo recently celebrated his 24th birthday on February 5.
