"What I do as an individual player is only important if it helps the team win. That is the most important thing." - Ronaldo

At times, Ronaldo is accused of being selfish but that is not the case. The Portuguese legend himself acknowledges the fact that in a team sport, it is not the individual achievements that matter, it is the team's victory that matters the most.

When a player is trying to score a goal, it is for the whole team. Just like that, there must be a greater purpose to what a person is trying to achieve. It is important to not just chase materialistic things like money or fame. When goals ignite a burning desire inside an individual, he/she will conquer all the obstacles that come their way.
