00:00So when he played, obviously, at United with us, he was getting to a point 2006-2008 where he was,
00:05I think when he left us, he was the best in the world at that point probably with Messi, he
00:09was absolutely sensational and obviously kicks on.
00:12I mean, he was massively driven, wanted to be the best player in the world. Is that your experience of
00:16him when you were in the dressing room with him at Madrid?
00:17Yeah, the driven part, yeah. I think when I came, obviously watching him when I played in the Premier League
00:24and when I was a bit younger, he was definitely more of a flair player and a winger.
00:30As I came to Madrid, I felt like he just started that transition to becoming a goal scorer where he
00:37realised that if I get goals and I don't have to do so much, I'm going to get probably even
00:42more plaudits and credits.
00:43So he was still doing the dribbling and stuff, but as he got older, just transitioned more into it.
00:49And I think just as I came, he was first two, three seasons, he was still probably similar to the
00:55United-Christian and then transitioned into that like, right, I don't need to come back so much.
01:00I can position myself better for counterattacks.
01:04And yeah, just how driven he was in training, in games, just to score goals.
01:09Literally, all he wanted to do was score goals. And ultimately, that's why he's got so many records.
01:14Was he demanding in the dressing room? Who was the big leader in that dressing room? Obviously, Ramos was in
01:18there, wasn't he?
01:19Yeah, I'd say Ramos was by far the biggest leader. Cristiano had his ego and was a leader in his
01:27own right from what a player he is.
01:30But in terms of the leader of the team, it was, yeah.
