Casillas: "What Cristiano did is more impressive than what Messi did"

Iker Boxes spoke in an interview for 'ESPN' of the eternal debate between Leo Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo​. Although, generally, in the world of the football the majority think that the Argentinian is above the Portuguese, there are others that think the contrary. The ex goalkeeper of the Real Madrid seems that it is of the seconds, since it ensures that it gives him more merit to all the attained by his ex mate.

The one of Móstoles considers that the one of Madeira has had to struggle and work more than the one of Rosario, that according to him has had more eases by his natural gift to play to football. "Cristiano always had a big wish to be the best, since it was boy and think that has attained it. If I have to compare it with Messi, what has done Christian is more impressive because all know the talent that has Messi", affirmed.

Besides, the champion of the world with Spain in the 2010 wanted to ensalzar the figure of the '7' of the Juventus of Turín. Iker wanted to leave clear that the luso is not arrogant although it can seem it and admitted that prpers have seen so much to him as to Leo has been incredible. "I seat that we have had the luck to having been able to enjoy of two phenomenal players. For the people that does not know to Cristiano, can seem engreído and arrogant, but is totally the opposite", signalled.

The opinion of the ex archer is clearly conditioned for having played several years with Ronaldo, but the true is that there are people that thinks like him. The Portuguese, in spite of his evident conditions for the practice of the football, does not have the innate talent of Messi. The Barcelona can do things that anybody more does without hardly effort, by what the ex madridista had to work a lot his physicist and perfect his virtues to be able to compete with him.

On the other hand, Boxes also explained a surprising history on José Mourinho. The relation between the technician of the Tottenham and the Portuguese is bad since they coincided in the Madrid, but still like this the one of Setúbal was to his side in his worst moment. "Many do not know it, but the míster, José Mourinho, went of the three first people that spoke me to see how was when had the infarct", commented.

You live more the day in day out, leave you to put in your world, in your head. I am a privileged", commented, to finalise.
