Martinez said that what impressed him most in Ronaldo was the spirit and the desire to compete in contrast to many major stars. "Cristiano doesn't play ball just to win a specific title," he said. "He was not defined by what he ate or lived, but by his inner desire. Whatever he achieved, the next day he remained motivated to progress. I used to work with a lot of Champions League champions or win Golden Balls, but then they lost their motivation. Ronaldo is an example of a completely different psychology".
