Cristiano Ronaldo is the best player in the world, says Wayne Rooney.
Cristiano is truly the prototype of an ideal footballing specimen, as proved by his pace, power and leaping ability.

Throughout the sport, one would be hard-pressed to find a player quicker than Ronaldo.
That Cristiano can run 100 meters in a time closer to that of world-record holder Usain Bolt than to that of many other footballers is made all the scarier by his ability to control the ball without losing much of his quickness.

As can be seen through the rest of the football world, speed kills. However, Ronaldo's pace is on another level, allowing him to wreak havoc and destroy his opponents while giving him the ability to carry his side.
onaldo's ability to attack headers is incredible, timing his runs perfectly to strike the ball at optimum speed and using his own momentum to send balls flying

The former United man has been in scintillating form this season, scoring 23 goals in the opening 17 games of the season, having only failed to score in just three games.

Rooney, who shared five glorious years at United with Ronaldo, claims his former teammate has certainly edged Lionel Messi in establishing himself as the best player in the world and will definitely win the prestigious Ballon d'Or award in January next year.
Ronaldo claims that he is working hard to achieve his goal and taking it step by step. He says that when he looks back at his career he wants to be seen as one of the best players ever to have graced the beautiful game.
