#4 The person Cristiano feared the most
Sir Alex Ferguson is to Cristiano Ronaldo what a father is to his son. And, if you ever desire a proof of how good a student CR7 was, just watch a footage of the dying minutes of the Euro 2016 Final. Cristiano Ronaldo pointing towards his watch bears a stark resemblance to the gaffer's famous style.
The pair has always had love and respect for each other in public as well as in private. However, the man he regards as the most important factor in his career is also the one he fears the most. A sort of revelation, isn't it?
It was Rio Ferdinand who raised the curtain over this fact on television. Speaking on the Clair Balding Show, the English defender was asked about the player who was most scared of Fergie. He wasted no time in revealing Cristiano Ronaldo's name, as he said,
“Cristiano Ronaldo was probably the one I saw react the worst to it. He wasn’t very happy with it, he was broken”
“In Benfica it was, he tried to take on everyone and the gaffer was saying, ‘you ain't a one-man team, this is about the team.' He was very young, and Ronnie was like that."
It was after that incident Ronaldo advanced towards becoming more of a team player than a show-pony. And for all those values that have been instilled in him, Sir Alex deserves a worthy praise.
