It'll be virtually impossible stopping Ronaldo the PlayStation character warns Gunners striker Adebayor

Arsenal striker Emmanuel Adebayor cannot wait to come face to interface with Manchester United counterpart Cristiano Ronaldo in the FA Cup this weekend.

And the in-form Togo forward is refusing to say the Gunners have virtually no chance at Old Trafford despite likening the Portugual star to a character in a computer game - who certainly doesn't lack byte.

The top two clash in the fifth round on Saturday with both men topping the goal-scoring charts on 19 Premier League goals.

But this hasn't stopped Adebayor signing Ronaldo's praises, insisting: "He is a player I like to watch.

"He has a lot of quality and watching him is like watching something else, it is like playing on the PlayStation sometimes."

Adebayor's aim will be to cut Ronaldo's power supply and he added: "He is an amazing footballer and I show him a lot of respect for what he has done this season. There are not a lot of players, especially midfielders who can achieve what he has achieved."

Adebayor has netted in Arsenal's last nine matches and added on the club's official website: "The Golden Boot is something I want to do as a footballer but the most important thing is that I want to achieve something as a team.

"If I win the Golden Boot and the team does not win anything, I cannot see me enjoying myself - it would be better to win the title."

The 23-year-old striker also expressed delight at being voted Player of the Month by the club's supporters.

He said: "The Arsenal fans voted me as player of the month and I'm very happy and pleased about that because it means a lot of people believe in you.

"I'm pleased and I want to achieve a lot in my career. That is why I'm here and that is what I'm fighting for."
