Cristiano Ronaldo, Vela or Messi: the list of players who hates to watch football

The Juventus forward,Cristiano Ronaldo, admitted in the documentary Parallel Worlds that he does not like to watch football and that he only plays it because of the passion he has for playing. This generated a great surprise in his audience, but Cristiano Ronaldo explained that he prefers to watch sports like UFC or boxing rather than watch a soccer game. Cristiano Ronaldo is neither the first nor the last to have said that he does not like to watch football.

Lionel Messi is another of the players who once confessed that they prefer to see something else or do something rather than watch a football game. Like Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi enjoys continuing to be the forward of FC Barcelona but when that ends he does not continue watching football on television.

Surely, Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo are somewhat tired from their entire professional careers and everything that football demands of them. Likewise, it is not the first time that a footballer says he does not like watching football on television, but it is surprising to hear Cristiano Ronaldo say it in his own words.

Carlos Vela was another of the most important players who admitted to playing soccer just because it was his job. The LAFC forward does not watch football after his games or practice and prefers to watch a football or basketball game. It is also very valuable that they continue to show that they are the best in the world and that they dare to say that they do not like soccer.
