Figo: "It's not fair to compare Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi"
The former Portuguese player, Luís Figo, talked with an Italian media press earlier this week and besides approaching topics related to his new life outside the pitch, he also had a few remarks about his fellow countryman, Cristiano Ronaldo.
One of the biggest legends of Portuguese football, Luís Figo, granted an interview to "FCInterNews.it", where he not only talked about how his life changed after ending his career on the pitches, but also commented on how the rivalry between Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi should be looked upon. Luís Figo asked for people to stop comparing the two players and to simply admire their tremendous qualities, distinctly.
Figo's illustrious career in football, includes passages in clubs such as FC Barcelona, Real Madrid and Inter Milan, so the Portuguese is definately a well credited person to talk about Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. Figo started by affirming that the best Portuguese player remains being Eusébio, replying to the journalist when he asked him to choose between him and Cristiano Ronaldo. He then proceeded and praised Ronaldo and Messi.

Figo: "Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi are two completely different players, starting with their personalities, the clubs where they play at and the way they choose to deal with the media. It's not fair to attempt to compare them. I love to watch them playing, why should people feel tempted and insist in making comparisons between Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo? It's like you're having two things you like to eat in front of you and you decide to just taste one of them, when you could have gone for both."
The Portuguese player then talked about the timing of his decision to retire from being a professional football player. Figo: "I certainly remember my last game and I didn't take that decision impulsively or carelessly. It was something on which I thoughted a lot about, so it wasn't something I decided from one day to another. I knew that I had lost my physical levels, as well as I was losing that typical motivation we have when we are younger. It was the right time and I just said to myself that it was time to hang the boots up."

Figo is now studying in IESE Business School, University of Navarra, since one os his passions is to manage businesses in different areas such as real estate, hotels, bars and tourism. Moreover, the Portuguese has also started a social media platform project in 2009, to allow young kinds who have the dream of becoming of a professional football player, to send their videos and films and show what their skils and what they can do. Figo: "Every month we pick a winner among all the candidates. We obviously have several agreements with football clubs, that watch the videos we receive and are willing to invite them for trials in their academies."Since I have been receiving several e-mails in the last months, from people asking for help to join a professional football club, I've researched a bit and I found the link for this Figo's website initiative. You can send your videos over there and hope that Figo and his staff will appreciate your skills and get in touch with you. This foundation/website is called "DreamFootball" and you can access their website at www.dreamfootball.com. Good luck and if you turn out to be the next Cristiano Ronaldo in a few years, don't forget us :)
