Brazilian former soccer player Ronaldo plays a poker match for charity against tennis player Rafael Nadal, of Spain, at a casino in central London, Tuesday, Nov. 18, 2014. According to the organisers, an online poker company, the athletes for the past two months have been in training, after Ronaldo challenged Nadal to the live head-to-head poker match after the two first went head-to-head in December at the European Poker Tour Prague Charity Challenge. Nadal won the match to receive a $ 50,000 donation for the Rafael Nadal Foundation. (AP Photo/Lefteris Pitarakis)Lefteris Pitarakis/Associated Press

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

Sean SwabyMay 1, 2015

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.
