Cristiano Ronaldo said I was the only player better than him – now I want to start career in porn

CRISTIANO RONALDO once described Fabio Paim as a better player than him – now the Portuguese flop is eyeing a career in porn.

Paim, 36, was a team-mate of Ronaldo‘s at the Sporting Lisbon academy two decades ago and featured more than 40 times for Portugal‘s age group sides.

He was such a promising talent he was paid £4,400 per week when he was just 13, plus a staggering £130,000 annual bonus. 

Paim even had a four-month loan spell at Chelsea in 2008, but only played for their reserves during his short time at Stamford Bridge.

Ultimately, money, fame and a partying lifestyle culminated in him failing to live up to his extraordinary potential.

In 2003, Ronaldo said: “If you think I’m good, wait until you see Fabio Paim.”

Yet 16 years later, after a disastrous playing career, he was put in prison for a year on drug trafficking charges.

Paim watched Ronaldo train from a window in his jail cell, a brutal illustration of their differing fortunes.

Now released, he has claimed he is seeking a career in porn as a single man.

Paim was interviewed on Tiago Paiva’s YouTube channel where women in bikinis surrounded the topless ex-footballer.

One of them included porn star Diana Melancia – who wears a mask over her eyes.

As part of the video Paim received a massage from the women as he soaked in the sunshine.

And he was not shy in admitting he wants to pursue a path in the adult entertainment industry.

He said: “I would like to act in a porn film.

“I’m serious, it would make my dreams come true. I don’t have a girlfriend, I’m single.”

Ronaldo and Paim had a social media exchange last year after the failed footballer joked the Real Madrid legend should give him one of his five Ballons d’Or.

Ronaldo responded to the story by posting: “Wtf. who is this guy?”

Paim’s comments came in an exclusive interview with SunSport in the Algarve – where he now resides.

He said: “I was really special. I must be humble but this is the truth.

“Unfortunately back then there was not Instagram or Facebook, nothing was recorded like nowadays but I strongly and honestly believe that until today there was no other like me with the same quality I had.

“Cristiano, for all his effort and hard work, went to a level he deserves. 

“But when I was playing, if I had the same effort and commitment, I would be better than him.

“If I speak about technique, I was better. I was a small Ronaldinho. But as we can see, it’s not the technique that leads us to wherever.

“But yes at that time I was better than Cristiano. I believe he should give me one of his Ballons d’Or!”
