Manchester United's former star: Almost “exited” alongside Ronaldo

Andy Cole admitted that he was amazed when he lined up alongside Ronaldo in the stadium tunnel, prior to Manchester United and Inter in 1999. He had an extremely successful experience in <x0.>Old Trafford”, between 1995 and 2001, marking 121 goals in 275 matches, while raising 9 large trophies with his hands. “The Red Days” faced Inter in Europe's elite race, beating Italians 2-0 in their field before going to “San Siro” in the next fight.

Brazilian legend Ronaldo was at its height. Cole says it was a surrealist experience, challenging on the other side of the hole the winner of the Golden Cup “”, so much so that it was taken over by emotion: I remember that when they played on Inter, I lined up in the stadium tunnel and looked by Ronaldon. I'm not lying to you. I'm getting wet. It was the star I had loved for years. I'm talking about a star, a direct dancer. I was overcome by emotion and asked myself: Am I really at this level with these people? I was in the same field as Ronaldo, but I suspected I was on that level. A surreal situation. I tell this story to my boys as well as to say that I was a good football player”

Cole continued to express confidence that the injuries prevented Ronaldo from winning all individual prices year after year at the height of his career: If you talk to a lot of kids right now and you mention to Brazilian Ronaldo, they're raising their shoulders in amazement, because they don't know who it is. If we removed the injury from him, Ronaldo could have continued to win all “Golden Lands”. He was an extraordinary attacker, absolute”.
