Fabio canavaro/ronaldo
Fabio Cannavaro: "The first time that I played against Ronaldo was in a friendly between Brazil and Italy, in France ahead of the 1998 World Cup. I was terrified just to walk on the same pitch as him.
He was fast, strong, incredible. And every time that I played against him, he was always so respectful. A player like him doesn't need trash talk or insults and it was useless to try and get in his head. He was already in yours before kick-off.
I don't think the fear that I had ever disappeared, not once. But this fear came from a place of respect. And the way to respect a player like Ronaldo is to train every day, as hard as possible."
