Ronaldo: "Of course I would be happy for Messi if he wins the World Cup"

BERLIN, 12 Dec. (STATS Perform/dpa/EP) -

The former Brazilian striker Ronaldo Nazario assured this Monday that "of course" he would be happy for the Argentine Leo Messi if he finally wins the world title despite the "great rivalry" that exists between his country and Argentina.

"Would I be happy if Messi won the World Cup? Of course, I would be happy for him, but we must not forget that there is a great rivalry between Brazil and Argentina, so I am not going to be hypocritical and say that I would be happy for Argentina because it is not true," Ronaldo told the media.

'The Phenomenon' recalled that in a World Cup "nobody gives you anything, not even for your story". "Argentina are not playing very well, but they play together, they are aggressive and then there is Messi, who is decisive when he is close to the box," he warned.

On the other hand, regarding the decision for Neymar to take Brazil's fifth and last penalty in the quarterfinal shootout against Croatia, something that came to pass because Marquinhos missed the fourth and gave the Croatians the pass, the former striker is not "according to none of the tanda theories".

"I think that changing the launch sequence... It is something extremely delicate to address a player and that you can show that you do not have confidence in him, asking another to take his place," said the president of Real Valladolid.
