Hi ESPN. Just so you know, Cristiano Ronaldo and Ronaldo "the Phenomenon" are two diferent persons. The title says Cristiano Ronaldo (He is Portuguese), but Zlatan is talking about Ronaldo the Fenomeno (Brazilian). ;)

[@Kevkev_91]

No offense but in that case you see that probably an american wrote the title... because most of them know nothing about the beauty of football..or should i say soccer? 😅🤣

I mean there is clearly a reason why Cristiano had to brand himself as CR7. Nuff said

[@mattgiant8836]

Ajax was his first club outside of Sweden. He had struggles with some teammates and the way Ajax plays at first. He was still very young. But eventually his talent came through and his personality and he became a great player for Ajax and we have seen him do some amazing things on the field. Obviously we couldn't keep him in Holland unfortunately, but we are grateful that such a great player was with Ajax for three years. I followed his carreer of course and whenever he is in Amsterdam, he always gets a warm welcome he derserves. Thank you Zlatan!

[@carlosmoronzavala9443]
