Chicharito Calls Ronaldo the Best Player He's Ever Seen...and 'Chubby'

Javier Hernandez is a huge fan of the Brazilian Ronaldo—note the word "huge" here. 

The Manchester United man, who is currently enjoying a fine run of form while on loan at Real Madrid, was asked who the best player he had ever seen was. 

He answered Brazilian legend and World Cup winner Ronaldo, albeit with a preface: "Ronaldo El Gordito." 

As per James Whaling of the Mirror, it's loosely translated as "the chubby Ronaldo." 

The interview, which you can see below, was entirely in Spanish:

Ouch! 

Considering the praise Chicharito then showered on Ronaldo, we find it highly unlikely that Ronaldo will react the same way he did when responding to Sir Alex Ferguson's "fat" comments.

In the interim, the Brazilian can only blame his more physically tuned namesake, Cristiano Ronaldo, for always needing to preface any type of "Ronaldo" reference with a "large" jibe.
