The Krasnodar attacker says that he will not seek the Portugal attacker's shirt when the sides go head-to-head on Wednesday in the Confederations Cup
Fedor Smolov has suggested Russia are happy not to have a player like Cristiano Ronaldo in their ranks as the team comes before any individual.
The Confederations Cup hosts take on the European champions in Moscow on Wednesday, with Smolov's burgeoning reputation even leading to comparisons with the Real Madrid superstar.
Smolov played down any talk of similarities and also stressed Stanislav Cherchesov's men were happy to focus on the collective as they try to appease an expectant Russian public by making it two wins from two following Saturday's 2-0 victory over New Zealand.
