Ronaldo, Hernandez 'don't compare'

Russia defender Viktor Vasin says it is difficult to compare Cristiano Ronaldo with Javier Hernandez as he prepares to halt the Mexico striker on Saturday.

Ronaldo and Hernandez have each scored once in their two Confederations Cup matches so far, with the Real Madrid star heading in Portugal's winner against Russia and Bayer Leverkusen striker Hernandez netting in a 2-2 draw with the European champions.

Vasin found it a challenge against Ronaldo on matchday two but he believes that the 32-year-old's scoring statistics and Ballon d'Or victories place him in a different class to the Mexican marksman.

"I've only seen Javier Hernandez on TV," he told a news conference. "Comparing him to Ronaldo, you'd need to compare their stats, how many golden balls and golden boots he has and Ronaldo has. I don't think I have anything interesting to say in this respect."
