00:00I see huge potential, great talent.

00:05He's doing something even you or Messi have never done.

00:08Let's see, doing his way, that's what's going to happen.

00:13She's better than him.

00:13Igor, like the other ones, like Camavinga, like Rodrigo, like Vinicius.

00:19Let me in your mouth.

00:20I believe that he's going to do it.

00:21He's going to be the best, the best players for this new generation.

00:26It'd be interesting to see what one of the greatest players has played.

00:30What he thinks about the next generation coming now to take over the crown,

00:34maybe at some point, like the likes of Laminia Mata.

00:38What do you see in this young player?

00:40I see huge potential, great talent.

00:43He needs luck because he's very young.

00:46I hope he doesn't get some problems, but...

00:50He's doing something even you or Messi have never done, 16 years old.

00:54Yes, he was in contests that helped him a lot.

00:57The Spain national team is really, really good.

01:01And I think he has huge potential.

01:03But let's see, doing his way, that's what's going to happen.

01:09But I believe that he's going to do it.

01:11He's going to be the best, the best players for this new generation.

01:15How impressed were you with Jude Bellingham coming to Real Madrid?

01:18Obviously, you know that path and that journey and how difficult it can be.

01:22How impressed have you been with him in his first year at Real Madrid?

01:24It's the same, it's the same.

01:26It's huge, huge potential, huge talent.

01:29He goes to the club that the environment was clean, was good.

01:36And he grows, he grows like the other ones, like Kamavinga,

01:40like Rodrigo, like Vinicius.

01:43So it's good.

01:44I think he's in a team that helps him to be a top player.

01:48And I believe too that he's going to be one of the best in the next generation.

01:53And that takes me to your son now, Chris Junior.

01:56Yes.

01:56He wants to be a footballer.

01:57Yes.

01:58How would you feel about going like, right, go on, you go.

02:01As I told you, I say, I give you the map as an example.

02:05Because, you know, this generation is difficult for you to tell them something

02:10and letting them to do it.

02:14It's difficult.

02:15Your kids, you felt that is really difficult.

02:18But always in my mind put, you will see your daddy by example.

02:23They see me every day, what I do.

02:25In home, in a training or in a game.

02:28They say, my daddy's work a lot every time.

02:32You understand?

02:33They see that, they see that.

02:35And, but right in this moment, Christian wants to be a football player,

02:40but I'm not make a big pressure.

02:42I make a little bit of pressure.

02:44He's 14 years old.

02:45How I'm going to do it?

02:46He have the pressure already to be son of Cristiano.

02:51Imagine if I make now in the middle of big lions right now.

02:55Let him, let him do with his mistakes.

02:57Let him do with his things.

03:00But I hope so in the future, he can be a professional player.

03:04Or if he's not be a player, be another job.

03:09But I will always support them because we cannot make a pressure in our sons

03:13because we are famous.

03:15And because of that, I don't want to make that extra pressure.

03:19And because you've been able to give them a different life to what you had.

03:22Yeah, we both had, we had humble upbringings when we were young.

03:25We've lived good lives now because of football.

03:29Their lives are different.

03:30So how do you give them hunger?

03:31How do you give them the work ethic?

03:33By example.

03:34I think it's the only way.

03:35I give good education to my kids.

03:38But by example, I think it's the best way.

03:42To try to teach them and give you my advice, my knowledge, my experience.

03:48Look, it's the truth.

03:50When you say the truth, something happens.

03:54You see, the main guy, five Champions League.

03:57They say the truth.

03:59Listen, I don't lie.

04:00No, it's true. It's true.

04:01You see?

04:01This is why I have conversation with my, my friends a couple of days.

04:05And I say, my kid's going to suffer.

04:07Your kid's going to suffer.

04:09Because one moment of their life, they're going to have pain.

04:13You understand?

04:13And the pain, uncertainty, and what they have to do with constant work.

04:18Because nobody's going to help them.

04:20They're going to be themselves in a hard moment and they're going to falling down.

04:25They have to stand, cry alone, and keep going.

04:28Did you always feel different to everybody else?

04:30Like, even as a kid at Sporting, growing up, and then when you signed to United,

04:33you got a big place.

04:34Did you always feel that you was a bit special?

04:36I felt that my education was different.

04:40The environment that I was born was different.

04:44And the mindset was different as well.

04:47But if you ask me, why?

04:50I don't know.

04:51I don't know why we, because I think all human beings, we are kind of,

04:56we have some talent and we are unique.

04:58We are special in some way.

05:00And I'm not saying I'm more special than you or more special than him.

05:04I was different.

05:05And I take advantage for my contests, the help that I have with my family,

05:11the closest friends that I always surround.

05:14Listen, the last one, I've got one more question.

05:16What will you miss though, man?

05:18You're going to have to give up this game one day.

05:19I know you're the kind of a guy who wants to play for another four or five years.

05:23Yeah.

05:23If you do that, you deserve it.

05:25But when you finally take your boots off for the last time,

05:29what will be one of the couple of things that you go,

05:31you know what, I'm going to miss that.

05:33I miss when I go into a stadium on the big moments.

05:36I think that I'm not going to miss,

05:40I'm not going to have the adrenaline that's got a goal.

05:44Or to be nervous, you know, to be, I think I'm going to miss that

05:49because other parts, I'm, you know, I'm in good control.

05:52I have people around me.

05:53I have good business, I have good things, good incomes.

05:59But I think the adrenaline of football is never going to exist more.

06:02This is why I'm going a little bit further in football,

06:06because with 40s, you say,

06:09I give everything, you understand?

06:1140 or 41 or 42, it doesn't matter.

06:14You say, I give my body for 25 years of football.

06:20I cannot give more because, you know, the age don't allow us to go more further.

06:24For example, this is why I extend, you understand, my longevity.

06:28And this is why I take care of myself, keep working,

06:31because I know that two, three years more, I still can produce something good.

06:37This is why I told you, let me think in the present.

06:40I do with other parts, I prepare my business area,

06:43which is going very, very, very well.

06:47I will miss, of course, I will miss.

06:49Probably I will be a little bit lost.

06:53But listen, what I'm going to do?

06:55You think I'm going to cry with all the life that I have?

06:59Yeah, maybe a little bit because I've become more sensitive.

07:03But I will be a little bit like that.

07:05But I have other things to worry about.

07:09It's going to be another chapter of my life,

07:11which is a business part that I'm excited to.

07:16And that will be a challenge for me and learn other areas that I really don't know.

07:21Be more involved in my business.

07:24And I'm surrounded by very, very, very good heads,

07:27which is for me the key to have success outside the football as well in a business part.

07:32It's to have people smarter than you.

07:36And you have to be capable to understand that.

07:42I think I'm smart in football,

07:44but in other areas, I have people much more smarter than me.

07:48So you have to be surrounded with them to learn with them.

07:51And you make your own style and to be good with these people.

07:55To the business co-op, in my opinion.

07:57All right, man. Listen, thank you.

07:59Thank you, man.

08:00Pleasure, man. Lovely.

08:01You are a good guy and I'm happy to give this interview to you.

08:05I wish it's not the first one and the last one,

08:08because life will continue.

08:09My channel will continue and other projects will continue.

08:13I'm happy for you, man.

08:13Appreciate it, man. Thank you so much.
