Cristiano Ronaldo is asked who his biggest influence is - gives most Cristiano Ronaldo answer ever

 If only Cristiano Ronaldo had a little bit more self-confidence, eh?

The Portuguese Ballon d'Or collector looks set to win his fourth world player award early next year , and even though he's not quite been at his best this season he's still one of the finest players to ever play the game.

And when he talks, people tend to listen.

In an interview with Coach magazine, Ronaldo opened up on everything from his relationship with rival Lionel Messi to how he "needs" his enemies to spur him on 

But he saved his most Ronaldo-ish answer for the question "who was the biggest influence on your career?"
Lining up the question like he would a free-kick, Ronaldo would have thought about it for a good few nanoseconds before coming out with:

"I am."

Perfect, isn't it? It's exactly what you'd want him to say.

And then, when pressed to name somebody - anybody - who wasn't him, Ronaldo responded with:

"My biggest inspiration has always been myself; nobody puts bigger demands on me than me.
"I said I admired Figo and Rui Costa, but I never wanted to emulate anybody – I have just always focused on being the best me I can."
Don't ever change, Cristiano.
