• An interesting video has surfaced online of Cristiano Ronaldo’s humble response when asked where he preferred to play
• This is in the midst of sensational reports that Kylian Mbappe wants to leave Paris Saint-Germain because he feels ‘betrayed’
• Mbappe is reportedly discontented by the fact that some promises were broken including the one involving his playing position

An eye-opening video showing the difference between Cristiano Ronaldo in his prime and Kylian Mbappe has surfaced online - and it is quite interesting.

Mbappe has made himself the target of mass criticism from fans after it emerged the Frenchman wanted out of Paris Saint-Germain, as he felt the club had broken some promises made to him.

One of the promises, according to journalist Matteo Moretto, was that Mbappe would be handed a free role at PSG rather than playing as an outright number 9.

Amid all the drama, it has now emerged that Mbappe actually preferred Zinedine Zidane as the next PSG boss after Mauricio Pochettino was sacked. In addition, his relationship with Neymar continues to be a strained one.

While Mbappe is getting stick for his alleged poor attitude, a video of Cristiano shows the Portuguese forward had a much different attitude when he was around Mbappe’s age.

The video, shared by Madrid Xtra on Twitter, shows a young Cristiano being asked where he preferred to play.

In response, Ronaldo says he can play either on the left, right or down the middle and goes on to add: “I just want to play.”

Fans with long memories will remember Ronaldo started out at Manchester United as a winger and when he signed for Real Madrid in 2009, he still played on the flanks, supporting the likes of Raul Gonzalez and Ricardo Kaka.
