'Cristiano is a special person, a big heart'

Juventus are the unrivalled leader of Serie A. The Turin team are having a brilliant season, that has already notched 34 points, six higher than second placed side Napoli.

And all of this is due, in part, to the arrival of Cristiano Ronaldo to the Italian side; who upon leaving Real Madrid in the summer and became the stand out deal of the transfer window.

With Ronaldo in the team, the situation is very different, as his teammate Juan Cuadrado explained in an interview with Spanish sports outlet 'Marca: "We all know how professional he is."

"He is a special person with a big heart and professionalism, all day every day we are learning from him, with so much hunger he always has to win and achieve his goals", Cuadrado added.

What most surprises Cuadrado, is that despite his successes, Ronaldo keeps his feet planted firmly on the ground: "He is a very normal person, like the rest of his teammates, we have the privilege of sharing with him, we more emphasise more the professionalism he has."

He added: "He is an ordinary person, with the difference that he has been and is a great player, a great athlete, who has won all the fruits of the labour he consistently puts in."

"When he arrives, he always does work in the gym and then on the pitch he also does what he has to do. Then, he always loves to work on his finishing, because he is an attacker, and works very much on that aspect, we have a great friendship with him at the club," said Cuadrado.
