“It’s been honestly a big honour to play with Cristiano Ronaldo,” Weston McKennie told ESPN as he spoke about the experiences of his first season at Juventus.
“I still remember the first time I met him, I was walking down the hallway and I was like, oh snap, be cool, be cool.
“[But] he's a really genuine guy, straight to the point, he wants to win, he has a great mentality and we also joke around – he calls me Texas Boy.
“For a player with all the accomplishments in his career, he could be snobby and stuck up, but he’s very open and warm and brings all the players into the game no matter what age you are.”
McKennie has probably surprised many Serie A fans by how easily he's become one of the season's revelations at Juventus, and Ronaldo's warm welcome might've helped him to adapt.
