“Congratulations to all the winners at the FIFA event because those are certainly important prizes they’ve won and show the hard work done by all who were awarded something during the ceremony. And once again we have to congratulate Cristiano. It’s not easy to win year after year all those trophies and titles. I’m happy for him.” Brazil’s Sonny Anderson, former Barcelona and Olympique Lyonnais:
“He deserved it because of everything that Cristiano has done for football. When we think Cristiano is finished he comes back and scores more goals.
