A year ago
Jorge Mendes has talked about his connection with Cristiano Ronaldo, saying that even though they parted ways professionally last year, they are still "close."
According to reports, Ronaldo and his longtime agent parted ways following his explosive Piers Morgan interview, which resulted in his painful departure from Manchester United.
Furthermore, Ronaldo is alleged to have broken up his relationship with Mendes after asking the super agency to secure him a contract with Chelsea or Bayern Munich last summer.
Ronaldo and Mendes broke their cooperation as Mendes was unable to strike a deal with either club. Ronaldo eventually signed with the Saudi Arabian team Al-Nassr.
Mendes insists that his friendship with Ronaldo hasn't changed, though. "Our personal relationship continues to be close, a great personal relationship," he told reporters
Mendes continued to laud Ronaldo, calling him the world's greatest footballer. How do I see this stage of his life, he asked the reporters? I will always have Cristiano in my heart.
He is a unique player and an exceptional human being in my eyes. If I had known a few years ago that I could get a player for half what Cristiano is worth, I might have agreed to a lower price! And it should make all of us Portuguese happy to have had and continue to have a player of his caliber.
"He was and is the best player in the history of world football," I've always stated and "I'll say it all my life." Compared to others, I have not the smallest doubt
Mendes continued, "You have to see what he accomplished. Goals are football! There is a lot of work and strength involved.
"He is the best of them all, and he has done everything a great professional would have to do. He is an example for young people." However, it is also true that he was a good player when he was younger. You mentioned Messi and Ronaldinho Gaucho, but Cristiano was also a good player in his youth.
And powerful and explosive in one-on-one combat! Cristiano has developed into an automaton! Many people never gave the development that lead him to become the best in the world any thought.
