De Ligt has been impressed by the 35 years old and praised his teammate. Speaking to Tuttosport he said:“Ronaldo is the best of his generation and a huge example for young players, I always try to improve the way I play by watching him because even in training he has a crazy intensity and you wonder if he really is 35 years old.”
“We really have a good team, a lot of good guys. The most fun are the South Americans. Beside Ronaldo, I was impressed by Paulo Dybala and Rodrigo Bentancur: both players with an amazing technique. Rodrigo in particular is underestimated, he will have a great future ahead of him.”
Dutchman is not only impressed with Portuguese star but also veteran goalkeeper Gigi Buffon.
“Gigi could literally be my father… he is 42! Can you imagine it!” he said. “The point is that if you see him playing you would say he is 30. He is a top guy and always available with me. I’m learning a lot from him.”
He also quashed any rumors suggesting that he is looking to leave the club having had a hard time adjusting at Juventus by saying he is happy and looking to improve everyday.
“They invented many things about me: the truth is that I’m really happy in Turin and to be able to train every day with extraordinary players,” he confirmed. “I have the feeling of improving day by day. So, yes, I’m very happy.”
