Jose Mourinho explains why Cristiano Ronaldo is so special

Jose Mourinho thinks that Cristiano Ronaldo has a "natural advantage" that makes him one of the greatest players in the history of football.

Mourinho, led by Ronaldo while he was at the peak of his power at Real Madrid from 2010 to 2013, witnessed the genius of the star of Juventus.

The dedication of Ronaldo has earned him to be recognized as one of the best so far.

His athleticism is also perceived as an essential difference between him and his rivals – but Mourinho believes that the mental characteristics of his Portuguese compatriot distinguish him and are "in his DNA".

"The difference is in his head, it's a natural advantage, it's in his DNA," Mourinho told Eleven Sports.

"Ambition, motivation, personal pride are things that are not bought and have existed since birth.

"Ronaldo will be like that until the end.He is one of those mentally special players."

Ronaldo's brilliance by Mourinho came after the two men were badociated with a meeting at Juventus.

The Turin giants are considering a new manager after the departure of Mbadimilliano Allegri, and reports in Italy have recently suggested that Ronaldo is pushing for Mourinho to get the job.

Mourinho, unpopular at Allianz Stadium because of his success with his rival, Inter Milan, has recently fueled speculation by suggesting that he had spoken to Ronaldo about the job.

Mourinho told BeIN Sports: "One of the players with whom I have a good relationship, he plays for a team and he said to me, 'You should come here next season' and I told him, "They do not like me". ".

"He told me," You win three games and they will start to like you. "

Mourinho has been unemployed since being fired by Manchester United last December, but said he wanted a return to leadership this summer.
