'I'm tired of all the Messi comparisons' - Cristiano Ronaldo

Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo is tired of comparisons
with Barcelona rival Lionel Messi and understands why
some people must dislike his personality or the ways he
sees football. Speaking ahead of the release of his
personal film "Ronaldo", the FIFA World Player of the
Year told Reuters TV that he is "not a fake person."
"I have my style, he has his style, his own style,"
he said of Messi, his greatest rival. "We have to
respect that people compare all the time. And it is
normal, we are compared since we are babies, I
don´t mean me and Messi but all the persons in
school. Who is more clever, who is more fast, it´s
normal, it´s part of the life.
"It does not surprise me any more but some times it
makes me tired because it´s always same thing and
they still repeat and repeat, one year, another year, every
year."
Critics say the Portugal forward's celebrations
sometimes have an air of arrogance or egoism about
them. Added to the fact that Ronaldo is never shy to
show his muscles or make defiant gestures after
scoring. He startled the audience at this year's World
Player of the Year award by bellowing "Sim" (yes) into
the microphone after he was announced as the Balloon
d'or 2014 winner.
Asked why people may dislike him, Ronaldo said:
"Maybe the way I am, my personality, the way I
see football. I´m not a fake person. It´s normal, it
´s part of the business. No one can control that,"
Ronaldo's film, due to be released on Nov 9, depicts the
striker as a family man and shows how he lives on and
off the pitch.
In a separate interview with the BBC, Ronaldo described
himself as "unbelievable on the pitch."
"I don't need to say 'I'm in the history of football,
I'm a legend'. The numbers say everything," he
said.
"I have to say to be in my shoes is not easy. But
I'm not complaining. I just want to say that. I feel
happy. All this happens because of a reason. The
reason is I'm unbelievable inside the pitch."
"This is why the people have so much interest on
me. So it's as simple as that. I'm good, I'm
happy, I'm motivated all the time. I'm very
professional and I want to carry on like that."
