The ex Barcelona confirmed without any type of problem that posed this possibility in spite of his past barcelonista.

"I never would have refused to the Real Madrid only for having played in the FC Barcelona, by a lot of that have a big relation with the Barcelona and that always will be my club in Europe. In this moment was without team because we agree to finish the agreement, so it could not refuse offers because yes. Like professional always have to analyse the pros and the contras", said, for afterwards admit that the merengues did not arrive to put all the meat in the asador for ficharle.

"In truth the option of fichar by the Real Madrid never was so, so serious as it has said , because I arrived fast to an agreement with the Milan and the Madrid denied to equalise the offer of the Italians, so I did not have to think it to me a lot", recognised. Nevertheless, the one of Recife imagined in Santiago Bernabéu beside his compatriot and fellow Ronaldo, that arrived to the Spanish capital this same year.

Rivaldo Spoke of his duels with Zidane

On the other hand, it referred to his duels with Zinedine Zidane in the Classical of the period.

In these so high levels, try to have a bit of care because the rivals have a lot of resources", affirmed, putting afterwards like example Leo Messi vs Cristiano Ronaldo of the actuality.

"Afterwards you do him the entrance, dribbles you and already are meat of cannon for memes or videos. It looks, something alike has happened recently with some images in which it sees to Cristiano Ronaldo removing it to Messi and this does viral because it is very rare to see them in direct individual clashes. I am convinced that the two treat to avoid in his direct duels because you know that the rival is very good and can leave you badly", concluded.
