In an interview with Corriere della Sera, Italy manager Roberto Mancini talked about Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.
"Ronaldo and Messi are exceptional players," Mancini said. "Messi is a genius. He was born to be a player."
"Ronaldo is where he is today because of his own hard work the day after tomorrow. Cristiano has worked really hard, done a lot of work and become one of the best players in the world and he deserves our praise."
