"He's always one of the first in and one of the last out. You always hear those things, but I can confirm that. He's also very human. He asked me about my injury . He's amazing as a person." https://t.co/dE2ZPhpVTY
Pellistri was also left touched by the human side that Cristiano Ronaldo has. He was also impressed by Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag. While speaking to ESPN, the youngster said (via United in focus):
“Ten Hag really likes to press up high and for the team to be the protagonist. You can see that United are starting to at least win more games and I think that by the end of the year things will go well. What most caught my attention about Cristiano Ronaldo? When I saw him I was impressed by him.
"But yes, he is always one of the first to arrive and one of the last to leave. Besides, he’s very human. As much as he is one of the biggest stars that exist in football and in the world, he is always attentive to everything. He always greets me and asks me about my injury, as a person he is incredible, as a player we already know what he is.”
Ronaldo has always been one of the leaders of every team that he has played in. Hence, it shouldn't come as a surprise that he continues to amaze his peers even in the latter stages of his glorious career.
