Cristiano Ronaldo is like Roger Federer and Usain Bolt, says football star
In an interview to La Stampa, the FC Juventus defender Giorgio Chiellini compared his teammate Cristiano Ronaldo to the 20-time Grand Slam winner Roger Federer.
Chiellini reflected on how it feels to serve as a captain during matches for such a popular team. He has been playing for Juventus for years and he definitely played a key part in winning the last seven Italian championships. "Replacing (Gianluigi) Buffon is not easy at all. As captain, you do not need to do the jobs of the others. But, you have to help maintain a balance [in the squad], and in a multi-cultural dressing room which includes many different backgrounds, habits and religions, it's not always easy, but sharing that [environment] is beautiful. You become a leader. I am a curious person, a good observer and I like learning. For example, having Ronaldo close to me is interesting. He is like Bolt and Federer. Understanding the habits of those who have that extra gear helps. It is not to imitate him, but rather it helps to broaden my horizons [as captain]."
