Valdano: "The 21st century Di Stefano isn't Messi. It's Cristiano Ronaldo, who moreover wears the same shirt as Di Stefano. Ronaldo is a decisive player who will certainly make history at this club. We wouldn't trade him for anyone, but we have to recognize that both Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo are tremendous players who add a lot of quality to the Spanish League."
The journalists also asked Valdano about the recent disagreements with José Mourinho, but the "merengues" director rejected the existence of any conflict inside the club: "We have to focus exclusively on the team and be more competitive. Right now, we are all happy. Our job is to give comfort to the coach and allow him to be happy with his work, so he can give everything he can to the club. Everything is normal at the moment."
