Cristiano Ronaldo advises Real Madrid star to try out new position on the pitch | OneFootball

Real Madrid legend Cristiano Ronaldo late this week jokingly advised a current member of Carlo Ancelotti’s squad to try his hand at scoring goals.

The player in question? Thibaut Courtois.

Ronaldo and Courtois were both in attendance at the latest edition of the Globe Soccer Awards in Dubai on Friday night.

The former went on to secure for himself yet another individual accolade, in being named the Best Middle East Player, whilst shot-stopper Courtois scooped the prestigious Career Award.

After being handed their respective trophies, Ronaldo and Courtois then sat down for a discussion in front of the crowd in attendance at the gala.

And it was during as much that CR7 sent some advice the way of the Belgian, regarding his position on the pitch.

Jokingly suggesting that Courtois should make use of his physical attributes in the opposition penalty area, Ronaldo explained:

“You should be a striker, you are very tall and would score alot of goals (laughs)!”
