Hojlund picks Ronaldo over Messi
Speaking to TeamViewer Diaries, the ex-Atalanta man said:
"Cristiano Ronaldo has always been like my idol growing up,"
"I always thought he was the best football player in the world and I just tried to learn from him. He is the greatest goalscorer ever, probably as well.
I've always looked at Ronaldo back in the day where he was more of a dribbler and now he's a proper, proper goalscorer."
