“Cristiano Ronaldo only cares about one thing: scoring goals. Besides that, he doesn’t care about anything else. Meanwhile, Lionel Messi tends to want to contribute more to the overall play” , Goal quoted Wayne Rooney’s statement.

The former Man Utd striker agreed with Eden Hazard’s views in a recent viral interview. Rooney said: ” Basically, Messi is like me, we both like to play football. We want to do more than score goals.

Sir Alex Ferguson once criticized me for sitting too deep. However, that is my wish. I can become a selfish guy like Ronaldo to score a few more goals, maybe be on top of the world. However, I want to play football more. I want to enjoy football”.

Previously, Eden Hazard also promoted Messi over Ronaldo. The former Chelsea player even claimed to be better than Ronaldo at “pure football”.

Rooney’s statement stirred up Ronaldo’s fan community. CR7 fan account Cristiano Xtra also provided evidence that the Portuguese superstar is not selfish.

During his career, Ronaldo had 292 assists while Rooney’s number was only 191. Some even criticized Rooney’s “outrageous” appearance after retiring, while Ronaldo still kept it. Their bodies are toned even though they are both nearly 40 years old.

Ronaldo once declared that he no longer considered Rooney a friend in an interview with Piers Morgan.

Rooney was just fired by Birmingham because of poor performance. “Shrek”‘s career as a coach did not go smoothly, as he did not have any significant achievements. Meanwhile, Ronaldo was also born in 1985 but is still playing persistently with Al Nassr. CR7 is also aiming for the historic milestone of 1,000 goals in his career. To date, he has scored 875 goals.
