AL-NASSR forward, Cristiano Ronaldo has named two players who could be his successor and fill his boots when he retires from professional football.
The five-time Ballon d'Or winner, who is already 38 years old, will, no doubt, be retiring from professional football anytime soon. Questions have risen on who can dominate the beautiful game of football just like the way he and Lionel Messi did.
Speaking during his unveiling as LiveScore’s Official Global Brand Ambassador, Ronaldo mentioned France international, Kylian Mbappe and Manchester City's forward, Erling Haaland as two possible players who can follow in the footsteps of himself and Lionel Messi.
“It is hard to choose just one player to say this one will be the best. But I think it is exciting to see this new generation of young players, like Erling Haaland and Kylian Mbappé.
“Some players can have one or two great seasons; the really great players are the ones that keep doing it season after season. That is not so easy to do. It takes a lot of hard work and a lot of commitment,” he said.
Ronaldo is currently the highest goal scorer in the Saudi Pro League with 15 goals as Al Nassr sits second on the league table, four points behind league leader Al-Hilal.
