Ronaldo’s dedication is unbelievable: Deco
Lisbon: Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo’s commitment to being the best is unbelievable and almost like a sickness, according to his former Portugal teammate Deco.
Deco, who played alongside Ronaldo as Portugal finished as runners-up at Euro 2004, believes that the 30-year-old’s determination to continually improve himself is unmatched.
However, he did admit it is difficult to compare the three-time Ballon d’Or winner’s qualities with another of his ex-colleagues, Barcelona’s Lionel Messi.
“The guy (Ronaldo) is sick, I haven’t seen anyone in training sessions like that. I think it’s really difficult to be like that. They are completely different. Though Messi takes care of himself like a normal athlete, Ronaldo is unbelievable,” Deco was quoted as saying by ESPN on Monday.
“It borders on sickness because he always wants to be the best at his job. He competes in everything. I think it’s great to see both players in action, it’s almost impossible to compare them,” he said.
The former Barcelona player added, “If you look at one’s game it’s totally different from the other’s. There are no parameters for comparison.”
The left-handed batsman from Haryana is garnering praise from all quarters for the way he’s finishing games regularly in the most exciting IPL season.
Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
