Cristiano Ronaldo, the legendary Portuguese forward currently playing for Al Nassr, and van der Vaart, a Dutch midfielder who had a noteworthy stint at Spurs after his time at Madrid, shared the pitch briefly during their time at the Santiago Bernabeu.
In a recent interview on talkSPORT, van der Vaart expressed his admiration for Ronaldo’s relentless work ethic. However, he did so in a rather unusual manner by describing the football superstar as “selfish.” He suggested that Ronaldo prioritizes personal glory above all, claiming he only felt satisfied when he found the back of the net.
