Sacchi says, Cristiano Not As Naturally Talented As Namesake Ronaldo

Cristiano Ronaldo is not as naturally talented as his Brazilian namesake, but hard work, elevated him to his status as the world's best, according to former Real Madrid director of football Arrigo Sacchi.

"I once went to meet Carlo Ancelotti when he was at Real, and do you know who was there working out an hour and a half before training? Cristiano Ronaldo," Sacchi said.

"The other Ronaldo, the Brazilian, had more quality but he didn't last as long because he was looking for privileges, he didn't want to run much. Cristiano Ronaldo is an exemplary professional, cognitive psychology teaches us that you're not born with talent, it's something you have to work at every day. That's how he is. He raises Real up, Real raise him up."
