Ronaldo Speaks, Kuwait Creaks and Mitrovic Seeks Glory

World Football

Available for over a year

Cristiano Ronaldo tells us he is the best player in the world, that he is a superstar because he is “unbelievable” on the pitch, reveals he has five or six more years left as a player, and won’t be tempted by a big-money move to Manchester City. Also, Kuwait’s record goalscorer Bashar Abdullah says the national team are devastated at the prospect of expulsion from World and Asian Cup qualifiers after the country's football federation was suspended by Fifa. Newcastle’s new number nine, Aleksandar Mitrovic, tells us he wants to become a legend like Alan Shearer. And, the coach of China, Alain Perrin, runs the rule over Asian Champions League finalists Guangzhou Evergrande. Finally, there is the heart-warming story of Kler Heh, who was born in a refugee camp in Thailand and is now playing professional football in England. (Photo: Cristiano Ronaldo. Credit:Getty Images)
