Manchester United player Anthony Elanga has given his verdict on Cristiano Ronaldo’s recent explosive interview with Piers Morgan and has also defended him on his statements. Ronaldo said that the young players “don’t care” and “lack hunger” nowadays and will not many will make it to the highest level.

On account of today’s youth, Ronaldo said, “I don’t think that word [respect] is the best one, they live in a different era. I can see with my kid, who is 12 years old, the mentality is not the same. The hunger. They have things more easily. Everything is easy, They don’t suffer, they don’t care. I don’t mean just Man United, but all teams. They are not the same as my generation.”

He added, “But we cannot blame them. It is part of the life of the new generation, the new technologies which distract them from other things. If they have the best examples in front of them, if they don’t at least copy what you did, it’s kind of weird. I remember when I was 18, 19, 20, I was always looking to see the best players. This is why I have had the success I have had and the longevity, because I take care of my body, my mentality, my head”
