Cristiano Ronaldo or Messi? Sporting star stuns fans: In truth... | OneFootball

Charlotte Schmit revealed she prefers Lionel Messi over Cristiano Ronaldo. The player is one of the biggest talents in women's football in Luxembourg and strengthened Sporting's team this summer. At just 19 years old, she has been playing for the green and white B team and recently gave an interview to the press in her homeland, where she discussed her experience so far.

At one point, she was asked about Cristiano Ronaldo. The captain of the national team - who celebrated Portugal's U-17 World Cup victory - started his career at the Alvalade Club, and because of this, Charlotte Schmit was asked who she preferred: the Portuguese star or the Argentine Lionel Messi, one of the century's questions regarding football.

"In fact, I am a fan of Lionel Messi. However, I have great respect for Cristiano Ronaldo's career. He is a big name. That didn't influence my decision, but of course, I know it's a very big club with an impressive history. I feel proud every time I see the Sporting emblem and wear the club's clothes. I am very grateful to be able to play for this club", said Charlotte Schmit in the interview she gave to the 'contacto' portal.

Then, the player also explained why she chose Sporting in the summer: "There were two other concrete possibilities in Germany. I had to carefully consider whether to take the giant step of moving far from home or stay in Germany. My heart said Portugal. I wanted to come to this southern football. I thought: I have to see this – if not now, then never. When the opportunity arose here, I wanted to see how my skills would stand out in Portuguese football".

"I am very happy with that. We have a great squad, with about 30 players. We name 20 for each game. That's why I'm pleased with my participation. The coach makes a lot of rotations. He trusts me. My goal is to repeatedly prove that I deserve that trust", added the young Sporting player.
