Pre
Match Press Conference Highlights |
Ronaldo
on winning the
Ballon d'Or
“I always play with pressure because people always expect a
lot from me and I don't think that will change,” “Winning
this award makes me feel very happy inside because it's one
of the best days of my life. “But my responsibilities
are still the same; I want to continue to play well for my
club and my country and try to do as well as last season.
“Of course I can improve - there are many things I still
need to learn. “You can never let yourself think you
know everything. I am still very ambitious and I will
continue to work very hard every day. I know it will be very
hard to better last season, but I will try - if you don't
try you win nothing.
"A new season means a new challenge and I want to help the
team win more trophies.” |
