Cristiano Ronaldo makes Darian Males hot for FC Basel

It is only 23 minutes that Darian Males played for Genoa before he switched to FCB. But they are enough for the 19-year-old attacking player to say today: “That was one of the most special days of my life!” The reason is easy to explain: Males will come on as a substitute in the Coppa Italia round of 16 in January – against the great Juve. And against his “absolute role model” Cristiano Ronaldo!

Males doesn’t hold back when he talks about the encounter with the Portuguese superstar. “To be in the same place with him was synonymous for me with a dream that came true.” The few minutes would have given him a real boost after the difficult start in Genoa, characterized by a corona infection, a change of coach and zero appearances in Serie A.
