Ghana international Jassy: My idol has always been Ronaldo, who is the ideal role model for children

Live Bar December 20, 2019 Ghanaian international Manuel Jassi, who plays for Spezia, was interviewed by GOAL.com today, revealing that his idol has always been C Ronaldo, and he also recalled how he felt when he played against C Ronaldo.

Who was your idol when you were a kid?

"My idol has always been Cristiano Ronaldo. In addition to his technical talent, I have always admired his determination and endless desire to improve himself. I think he will always be an ideal role model for all the kids who want to be players. I want them to look at Cristiano Ronaldo and say, 'Look at how 36-year-olds work, you have to understand what it means to be a professional player.' ’”

"What he's done is incredible, for years he dominated the football scene, he changed teams, but he always did what he was good at, which was to score goals and score again. It's incredible. He has scored more than 800 goals in his career, but there are still people who criticize him, and he still sticks to his own path despite the outside world. It's crazy. ”

You met him on the pitch, what impression did he leave on you?

"Really excited, happy excitement. Because if an idol grows up with you and you dream of fighting or fighting with him, when all this really happens, you will truly appreciate your own efforts and the position you have reached. I was lucky because I exchanged jerseys with him, especially since I also had a conversation with him and he was very polite. (Note: Jassy was born in 1994)

"I said to him, in my heart you are a role model for all young people who want to become professional players, and he simply answered me to follow my dreams and never give up. That's what I'm doing now, and I follow his advice and he continues to be my example. My benchmark has always been Ronaldo and my only regret is that he left Serie A because I wanted to play him for a few more years, but I will continue to follow him. ”
