Ronnie not worried about Best record
Cristiano Ronaldo admits he is flattered to be compared to Manchester United
great George Best but insists his only focus is winning the title.
The Portuguese winger is chasing Best's record of 32 goals in a season after
continuing his red-hot form with a goal against Reading on Saturday.
Ronaldo's late effort at the Madejski Stadium took his tally for the campaign to 23
to equal his return of last season.
But while he is happy to be likened to United legend Best, Ronaldo insists his aim
is to win the title, rather than set a new benchmark for a wide man.
"I never imagined I would have 23 goals by January, but the team are playing
very well and my friends are creating many opportunities for me to score," said
Ronaldo in The Sun.
"It is a pleasure and a great compliment when people compare me to George
Best. For me, Best was one of the most important players ever.
"If I break his record I'm happy, but to be honest, I don't care. The most
important thing is for the team to win the title.
"Last season I scored 23 times. This time I want to score more. I just want to do
my best and improve every year." www.teamtalk.com
