Russian volleyball player Irina Voronkova said that she likes Portuguese national team forward Cristiano Ronaldo.
This season, the 39-year-old Portuguese played in nine matches for the Saudi Arabian Al-Nasr in all tournaments, in which he scored eight goals and made three assists.
— I like Ronaldo, his thinking, the fact that he is a purposeful person and plays at such an age. Sergei Tetyukhin from volleyball has always been and remains an idol. I like how skillfully he plays, his worldview and perception. Michael Jordan has also been heard a lot. I’d like to see you.
I read a lot of articles about him and heard a lot, I was motivated by him: his training activities, how he tunes up. And, accordingly, parents who always set an example with their work and preparation. This is how it turned out what is now in my character and performances,” Voronkova is quoted as saying by “Championship”.
