00:00Cristiano from an ex-teammate, someone I consider a friend, I think, I have to say, man,
00:09since that young, little, ugly, skinny teenager that I saw come through the doors at Carrington
00:14at Manchester United, who dazzled us, who mesmerized us in training,
00:22always willing to have a laugh and mess around in training, laugh at himself,
00:27but came and worked, and worked as hard, if not harder than anybody else at the training ground,
00:33and when the lights were off, always working, always looking for that extra 1% to become better.
00:40To the kid who left us, we didn't want you to go, never forget that, I've tried to talk you
00:46out of it so many times,
00:47but who left us and went on to do unimaginable things and set the world alight and become the greatest,
00:53one of the greatest players to play the game, winning countless Ballon d'Ors and Champions Leagues.
01:01Congratulations on a great international career. Well done.
