Shakib Al Hasan is one of the best players in the world of cricket. The all rounder compared himself with the best duo in the world of football. Shakib is a fan of Argentina, Barcelona and Lionel Messi. But despite being a fan of Messi, Shakib claims to be like Cristiano Ronaldo.
In a recent interview with cricket-based media Cricinfo, Shakib made a simple confession in this regard. The Bangladeshi all-rounder also explained why he thinks of himself as Ronaldo.
"He (Messi) is (my inspiration). I don’t follow him off the field though, because he hardly talks to the media. In the recent past, he only started saying a few things, but you know, even two-three years back, I never saw him spoke anything to the media. It’s only now in last two-three years he’s been a bit more vocal. Ronaldo is the guy who always speaks, you know, his heart out, whatever he wants,”

"I think I’m a CR7 sort of person, but I like Messi, it’s not that I hate Ronaldo, I think he’s amazing, in his age of 35, the way he’s performing is world-class, you know the way he’s fit, he can go on for another three-four years. Normally, a football player after 32-33, you know, their graph tend to go down, but those two guys, their graph is still going up, so you know it’s amazing."
“So I follow both of them, I like Messi, the way he plays and presents himself on the field, but I think my character goes with Ronaldo more, more vocal, you know, outspoken, reaction on the field, those are Ronaldo kind of things that I normally do. Even Messi hardly shows his emotions on the ground, hardly you’ll see, Ronaldo, every game you’ll be able to see (emotions), I’m kind of a Ronaldo person but I like Messi.”
