Gary Lineker has revealed why Cristiano Ronaldo ‘refused’ to speak to him
During the BBC’s coverage of Portugal vs South Korea at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, Rio Ferdinand spoke about Ronaldo.
He said: “It's weird because he's achieved so much so what more is there for him to aim at? But he'll be scratching around so he's got something to aim at because he needs that fuel. “He uses every single comment from a pundit, comment from the media, report or record that's available as fuel.”At this point, Lineker said: “I can tell you from my own experience that if you harbour the opinion that Lionel Messi is the better footballer, then he doesn't want to speak to you.”Lineker then continued: “That's okay. I understand that even though I have adored watching his career. He's an incredible footballer but a bit touchy on that particular subject.
