Antonio Valencia has again spoken to distance himself from the comparison with Cristiano Ronaldo.

Valencia fills the requirements of a proper winger very well, unlike Ronaldo, who was ridiculously good at scoring goals and whose position became more and more central all the time.

Valencia has scored more goals than James Milner, Ashley Young, Shaun Wright-Phillips and Aaron Lennon, and as for assists, only three players have assisted more goals than Valencia in the league this season.

The decision to sign him was mocked by many a rival at the start of the season, but Valencia has proven to be one of the best buys of 09/10.

“Cristiano is a superstar and I’m Valencia, a footballer learning each day,” said Valencia. “I don’t desire comparisons with him as we are different players. And while I’m happy with my work in the team, I know every day I must fight for my place. It’s not easy to get into this starting XI here – but this is my challenge.”

Valencia isn't Ronaldo. We all know it. Valencia is Valencia, good as himself. Ronaldo is Ronaldo, good as himself.

Valencia had scored just 7 or 8 goals previously in some 85 PL games and he already scored the same number for United in just half a season.

He's been very good for us.

He is improved by miles. If he can develop a half decent left foot, he'll be a fucking awesome winger for us. Probably the next Kanchelskis.


Obviously there is no Ronaldo apart from Ronaldo

Ronaldo Is A Superstar… I’m Just Valencia

^shows he has no attitude
good lad and an excellent buy
