Kaka: ‘Ronaldo is not only a champion‘

Former Milan midfielder Kaka has hailed ex-Real Madrid teammate and Juventus forward Cristiano Ronaldo as ‘a great person’.

Kaka played with Ronaldo for three years at Real Madrid, until the Brazilian returned to Milan in 2013, and he could only speak highly of the No 7.

“Cristiano is not only a champion but also a great person,” he told SporTV.

“He was always attentive, thoughtful and available to everyone in the dressing room. Okay, maybe he was a little vain… but he always behaved well.

“He helped me a lot, even supporting me during interviews. Once when we were at a training camp in Los Angeles, he made sure to get 15 mobile phones and gave them to all the staff.

“I never had any problems with him like any of my teammates.”
