[Full version] The second part of Cristiano Ronaldo’s exclusive interview: Talking about Jota, World Cup, world peace, James...

As for people saying "if Portugal wins the World Cup, Cristiano Ronaldo will be the greatest player" - I disagree.

Morgan: Frankly, I believe you are the greatest player in the history of football.

C Ronaldo: Thank you.

Morgan: I also said that Messi is not the best in Argentina’s history, Maradona is.

C Ronaldo: How many World Cups did Argentina win before Messi? Twice, right? But this is normal, these traditional strong teams are used to winning big games. If Brazil wins, no one will be surprised, but if Portugal wins, it is entirely possible and it will really shock the world. But I don’t agree with this standard in my heart. Of course I want to win, as every competitor desires to win. But to be honest, I won’t change my perception of football because of it.

Morgan: Do you think you have what it takes to be the best in history?

C Ronaldo: Of course, in the eyes of many people I am already one of the top players.

Morgan: But "best ever"?

C Ronaldo: To be honest, I don’t care about this anymore. Having seen so many interviews now nothing I say will be surprising, the facts speak for themselves.

Just like some people like me with blonde hair, and some people prefer black hair, this is normal. But if I want to use the World Cup to redefine my status, I and we have won three trophies for Portugal. Before that, Portugal had not won anything. This makes me extremely happy.

Morgan: Would you like to win the World Cup?

C Ronaldo: Yes, but this is not obsession. I don't agree with (World Cup defining players) because Portugal have never won a World Cup and we will fight for it. Use this to judge my entire career from the age of 14 to 41? To judge what? Judging by one competition, am I one of the best ever? With six or seven games? Do you think this is fair? This isn't fair.

"Beckham has a good-looking face, but I am 'perfect'"

Morgan: You played football with Beckham. People often compare you to David Beckham, especially your looks. I won't compare him with football, because in my opinion, he is not at the same level as you. But do you think you're better looking than David Beckham?

C Ronaldo: It depends on the situation.

Morgan: Do you think you are more handsome?

C Ronaldo: It depends on the situation, it depends on the situation. Because to me, appearance is not just about the face, appearance is a whole, like this. If you take my identity out of the equation, imagine that I am not Cristiano Ronaldo, but a regular guy in red swimming trunks drinking coconut water in a pavilion on Copacabana Beach. Do you think I have no chance of striking up a conversation with anyone?

Morgan: No, you'll do great. Will definitely do better than me. I can safely say that you will do better than me. I drank coconut water at the beach and no one noticed me.

C Ronaldo: Hahaha, I was joking. It depends on people's point of view, I think it's OK, I look better, he looks better, we both look good.

Morgan: So, you and Beckham. You walk on Copacabana Beach for ten minutes, who is more eye-catching?

C Ronaldo: Not a celebrity?

Morgan: Not a celebrity. Just talk about physical appearance conditions.

C Ronaldo: It’s 100% me.

Morgan: I knew it (laughing), and I agree.

C Ronaldo: Do ​​you agree? Thank you.

C Ronaldo: He also knows that, his face is very beautiful, everything else is ordinary, I am not ordinary, I am 'perfect' (perfecto). (The two then laugh)

Morgan: He has too many tattoos, doesn't he? Don't you think?

C Ronaldo: I don’t know.

Morgan: Do you think he should have tattoo removal surgery? tattoo. I think he's covered in tattoos. Tattoos are literally everywhere.

C Ronaldo: Yeah, but he looks very good. He is a very eloquent person and I like him very much.

Ferguson will always have a special place in my heart

Morgan: Are you still in contact with Sir Alex Ferguson? I met him in the Champions League final.

C Ronaldo: Many years ago when I was playing for Manchester United, I often chatted with him. He would come to my house to drink tea, and he would add milk to his tea. He was a good man and he will always have a special place in my heart because he was the source of my spiritual strength. You know, Sir Alex Ferguson really helped me a lot in my life and my playing career.

Morgan: Your father passed away when you were young. Do you think Sir Alex Ferguson will be a bit like your father?

C Ronaldo: Yes, he is like a person who has always guided me in my football career. He is a man of his word, he is always very polite when we talk and I respect him greatly.

Morgan: Among the coaches you have worked with, who is the best you have ever encountered?

C Ronaldo: I am fortunate to work with some of the best coaches in the world, so I am a lucky person. It's not correct or fair to say just one of them. A lot of people ask me who my favorite coach is? I'm not that kind of person. What I want to say is: all of them helped me become the Cristiano Ronaldo I am today.

"I am the most famous person in the world"

Morgan: You are two of the most famous people on the planet, right? You are the person with the most followers on Instagram, and he is the most famous public figure.

C Ronaldo: If we want to make a global comparison - who is more famous? Is it me or is it Donald Trump?

Morgan: Globally? What do you think?

C Ronaldo: I am more famous

Morgan: Really? So you have more Instagram followers. You have more fans than anyone else.

C Ronaldo: I think this is true globally. Yes, even on that island, people knew me better than he did.

Morgan: Really? This is an interesting debate. Do you think you will win? Yes, you probably will. you probably will.

C Ronaldo: I think in the world, in the world today, no one is more famous than me.

Morgan: Do you think anyone can become more famous because of social media?

C Ronaldo: Name it, I want to hear your opinion.

C Ronaldo: You and Donald Trump, I think this is a very interesting debate. To say that in my lifetime I would add Princess Diana. Maybe the Queen counts, but not now because they're gone, right? But in my lifetime, perhaps Nelson Mandela will also be the most famous iconic figure. But I think, for now,

C Ronaldo: Michael Jackson

Morgan: Jackson was at his peak, when he was most popular. But I think right now it's you and Donald Trump.

C Ronaldo: This is a good debate topic, a great debate, you can make it happen. I think that would be great. Do you see it now? This is the map, yes, the map of the world.

Morgan: Have you ever been to a place where no one recognized you?

C Ronaldo: There was one 20 years ago. But not anymore.

Morgan: Is there any place you can go now without being recognized? Can you go to an igloo in Iceland? Even there, people know you, right?

C Ronaldo: Yes.

Morgan: Do you like this?

C Ronaldo: No. That's the way it is!

Morgan: I quite like that!

C Ronaldo: No, no, it makes me feel bored, so boring! Yes, that's too much.

Morgan: You can, you can be too famous.

C Ronaldo: I really wish I wasn’t so famous, really, really. It's boring, trust me.

Morgan: But if I say to you, Cristiano Ronaldo, you will have all the success you have as a football player, but you will lose your reputation.

C Ronaldo: I will sign and agree.

Morgan: You can?

C Ronaldo: Of course. 100%.

Morgan: That’s interesting.

C Ronaldo: 100%. I never wanted to be famous. Never wanted to. I wanted to be successful and I knew from a young age that I was going to be, like, a star. But being so famous is something I never, ever, ever wanted. It's boring, trust me. But here's the thing. I was born this way.

Morgan: So you are the most famous, richest, and most successful football player in history. Not bad.

Morgan: Ronaldo, thank you. It's great to talk to you. I hope, listen, I hope it doesn't take another three years to interview me. I hope the gap isn't so long.

Morgan: The interval should be shorter? All right. Shorter

C Ronaldo: Of course, but before that you interview my CEO first.

Morgan: I thought it would be great to interview him. I totally agree that your win-win story is incredible and I will do this interview.

Morgan: I think my next interview with you can be...

C Ronaldo: We can do something. Imagine me, you, and Mr. Trump. Sitting together at a table. It'll be fun.

Morgan: I think that's a good idea.

C Ronaldo: Different.

Morgan: Yes, like in the White House.

C Ronaldo: Even better.

Morgan: Why not? You have to arrange it. I didn’t even have to buy a plane ticket. I'll go with you.

C Ronaldo: Something different. Great great conversation.

Morgan: I think he'd like it. I mean, to promote the World Cup in his country. What could be better than this? I will make this happen. Make something happen.

C Ronaldo: Okay, perfect.

Morgan: But make sure you don't write me off if I make it happen. Okay?

C Ronaldo: You are also part of the family.

Morgan: We've made a deal. Nice to meet you. Say hello to your family on my behalf.

C Ronaldo: Thank you, Pierce.

Morgan: Congratulations on your upcoming marriage too.

C Ronaldo: Thank you.

Morgan: This is an important moment for men.

C Ronaldo: Thank you.

Morgan: If you need a best man, you know where to find me, I'm good at hosting.

C Ronaldo: Thank you everyone. Take care of yourself.

Morgan: Perfect.
