Jose Mourinho: Ronaldo didn't surprise me

Jose Mourinho welcomed the development of the career of Cristiano Ronaldo, who currently strengthens the Italian League club, Juventus. He greatly admired the quality of the star.

Jose Mourinho and Cristiano Ronaldo did not agree when they were still at Real Madrid. Both helped Blancos win the La Liga title in 2012, but their relationship soured the following year.

However, CR7 was welcomed by Mourinho, who believes that the Juventus star is an extraordinary and phenomenal player and that his attitude must be welcomed.

"What Cristiano did not surprise me," Mourinho told Portuguese television channel 11. "At the age of 34, he is a prominent player who plays in the best team and has big ambitions."

"That doesn't surprise me because this is a genetic and mental case study, he is a phenomenal player, someone who only thinks of winning and doing it more and better. That's why I'm not surprised by what he does."

"When he is 50 years old, he will be at home and FIFA will invite him to a legendary match, he will play in this game and score goals and I am sure it will be like that."

Mourinho will join CR7 at Juventus after the departure of coach Massimiliano Allegri. But the old woman instead chose to appoint Maurizio Sarri to replace Allegri.


Ronaldo and Messi are the same phenomenal

Meanwhile, CR7 recently invited Barcelona striker Lionel Messi for dinner. Competition between the two players has captivated the football community for more than a decade - but they are rarely seen together.

But Messi has now revealed that he is ready to sit down for dinner with the Portuguese player.

"Yes, no problem with me," Messi said. "I always say it doesn't matter to me."

"We may not be friends because we have never played in the same team, but I always see him in competitions and there are no problems."

"We actually talked for a long time at the recent awards ceremony," La Pulga said.

"I don't know if there will be dinner because we have everyone's life and commitment, but of course I will accept an invitation to dinner."
