"He asked me many times about life in China. I mean Ronaldo.
I wonder why CR7 couldn't go to China to play football?
I told him some interesting points about this country. We all understand that Ronaldo is not just a player, he is also a big brand. China is the most populous country in the world, I always tell Ronaldo that anyone who has the chance should try their hand in China," Coach Scolari shared.
The above message of Big Phil was announced at the ceremony to award the best Portuguese player of the year. CR7 was the first with 65% of the votes, second to midfielder Bernado Silva (Man City), third to goalkeeper Rui patricio (Sporting Lisbon).
At the ceremony, the star playing for Real Madrid had the opportunity to meet many acquaintances. Among them, in addition to Big Phil, Ronaldo also reunited with his former teacher - Jose Mourinho. The 33-year-old striker attended the ceremony with his girlfriend Geogrina Rodriguez.
After the interview with Coach Scolari, Ronaldo did not discuss any message related to China that he and his 69-year-old coach had discussed.
"This is a great award, not only for me but also for my colleagues. 2017 was a miraculous year, I achieved that success thanks to my own efforts and the great efforts of my teammates. In addition to professional issues, last year, I also had great family happiness with 3 more children.
I always prove that I am the best no matter what anyone says," CR7 said after receiving the award.
