I haven’t changed either. I am the same person who has been playing football with respect for the last 20 years.”
Cristiano Ronaldo also said in the post, “I think I have to keep working hard. To support your comrades. In any sport you have to be prepared for everything. For Manchester United must unite. We will be together again soon.”
