Ruud Gullit has expressed his support for Cristiano Ronaldo in his bid to win the 2012 Ballon d'Or over Leo Messi.
路德‧古利特表达了他对C罗赢得2012金球奖的支持。
The Dutchman, who won the award himself in 1987 while he was playing for AC Milan, believes Ronaldo "is the ideal footballer", and believes that, in a similar way to David Beckham, people dislike the Portuguese forward because he is attractive.
这位在1987年为AC米兰效力时赢得该奖项的荷兰人,认为C罗是「足球员的模范」,还认为人们不喜欢这位葡萄牙球星是因为他像贝克汉姆一样的吸引人。
"I think Cristiano is a phenomenal player. Messi has problems when he plays for Argentina because they say he feels more Catalan than Argentinian. Of course, he has lived in Barcelona since he was 12 years old, but I think Real Madrid are delighted to have Cristiano Ronaldo in their team.
「我认为C罗是位杰出的球员,梅西在阿根廷时表现出问题,是因为他觉得自己比较像加泰隆人而不是阿根廷人。这也是当然的,他从十二岁起就住在巴塞罗那了。我认为皇马很高兴有C罗在他们的球队中。
"He always scores, but he's not great just because he scores goals. For me he is the ideal player, he is quick, tall, great at heading the ball, he has great technique, he can take penalties, free-kicks, he is a leader. There is only one downside to Cristiano: he is very handsome. It is just like what happened with Beckham, people criticise them because they are envious of their good looks."
「他经常进球,但他的伟大并不单单只在於他会进球。对我来说他是完美的球员,他很高、速度很快,又擅长於控制著球,有很好的技术。他能射点球、罚球,他就是个领导者。C罗唯一的缺点就是:他太帅气了。就像小贝一样,人们批判他们只因为人们妒忌他们外表好看。」
