Cristiano Ronaldo Speaks On The Mindset Manchester United Players Need To Have

Cristiano Ronaldo talking about the importance of having a strong mindset.

Journalist: You said you mentioned some interesting words about system and you also said mindset. How crucial can you be successful if the mindset isn't right?

Cristiano Ronaldo: It's impossible. I think this is the main point. I always talk to my friends and we talk about football, we talk about the game and they all talk about the game system, but the system is useless if the mindset is not there on the field. That's why I say, we have a long way to go, because for me, the most important thing for you to look at yourself and say, I can do this better and I can help the team a lot more. Is the system important? Yes, it is important. Everything is important, the little details make the big difference in the end, but for me, the most important thing is the mindset. For you to be professional, help the team, the right mindset, positive self-talk. I think all the details are up to you and not the coaches, the fans, the press, it's up to you. If you're proud of yourself and have some dignity, I think you'll do that much more. Starting with me. It's a new year, trying to improve even different things and improve things to help the team. I think that's the main point. We're all here to make the team better, so let's try.

Journalist: So when you look around that locker room, is it character before talent and the ball in your feet that you need?

Cristiano Ronaldo: As I told you before, we have to have the right mindset. I look at myself and say: Cristiano, what can you do to improve your level to help the team? Yes, I can improve other things, maybe, I don't know, to run at 90 minutes if something happens, to help my team when I'm suffering or tired. These little details during the game and be smart, be smart, to see what the game brings, you know?
