Kean: ‘Cristiano Ronaldo worked to become number one, his talent was not enough’

Start

Juventus forward Moise Kean has recently discussed all in an exclusive interview with Corriere dello Sport, as quoted by Calciomercato. The 23-year-old is working hard and believes he still has plenty of time to become one of the best players in the world, referencing the hard work of the likes of Sadio Mane, Mohamed Salah and Cristiano Ronaldo. The Bianconeri have recently triggered the buy option in his contract to sign him permanently from Everton.

“I’ve traveled around a lot, now I work hard to find stability and continuity. I have a personal staff of four who follow me: a nutritionist, an athletic trainer and specialists who help me improve, I no longer neglect anything. I work with them even when I don’t have training, I work a lot on pace and to avoid wasting energy and some mistakes from the past. Sign for Juve and for me”.

“Paratici told me that in a short time I would become one of the best strikers in the world. It’s a very positive thing that he said that…There’s still time, I’m not one who looks too far ahead. People like Salah and Mané took a few years to explode. Mané is 31 years old, Salah became Salah at 25. I’ve been lucky enough to play with great champions here in Turin, Paris, Liverpool and champions help you grow. Cristiano Ronaldo worked to become number one, his talent was not enough.”

“Allegri has always treated me like a man, ever since he followed me in the Primavera. It was tough, tough in a good way… Many things have changed since then, I’ve identified the path to follow, I’m working hard.”
