JAKARTA - Cristiano Ronaldo's controversy in an interview with Piers Morgan is getting hotter. Ronaldo poked at the professional attitude of the young players of the Red Devils.

The Portuguese player said, of the many young players at MU, only a number of names he recognized were professional. They are Diogo Dalot, Leandro Martinez and Casemiro.

Ronaldo said that young players in today's era seem to lack respect for senior players. The increasingly sophisticated technology in today's football is quite influential and makes it easier for young players in many ways.

"I don't think they respect more experienced players or older players, but they live in different eras. I can say that for my 12-year-old son, his mentality is not the same," Ronaldo was quoted as saying by the Daily Mail on Thursday, November 17.

Their hunger is different. I think they have easier things, everything is easy, they don't suffer and they don't care."

Young players are not the same as my generation. But you can't blame them, because it is part of a new life and generation, a new technology that takes their attention away," said the star.

Nevertheless, Ronaldo still assesses that there are a number of players in the team who he considers to be a good example because of professionalism. He admired three names and assured that one of them would have a long career.

"At Manchester United I can call (Diogo) Dalot, he's young, but very professional but I have no doubt that he will have a long life in football because he is young, he is intelligent, intelligent and he is very professional."

"Maybe (Lisandro) Martinez too and Casemiro are in their 30s, but I would say Dalot is the best," he continued.

Ronaldo alluded that in his era the senior players used to be qiblat to spur themselves better on the field. Ronaldo also said how he learned to protect his abilities from these seniors.

"It (the attitude of today's young players) doesn't surprise me. But in the same way, it's a shame because if they have the best example in sight, they can at least imitate what you're doing."

"For me, it's a bit strange, because I remember when I was 18, 19, 20, I always saw the best players in Van Nistelrooy, Ferdinand, Roy Keane, and Giggs, from them I was successful and had a long life," he explained.

"I take care of my body, my mentality, my head, because I see these people (seniors) and I learn from them," Ronaldo said.
