Former Portugal defender Fabio Coentrão expressed support for his compatriot Cristiano Ronaldo.
“I don’t like to hear what they say about Ronaldo. There are ex-players who were nothing, ordinary crap, and they talk about Cristiano like they mean something in football. They shouldn't do this. Even if a person has made a career, but speaks disparagingly about Ronaldo, this is very disgusting.
They begin to talk about him that he does not get along well with teammates. It's something terrible, I know what it is. I lived with him for many years, and there is no need to tell me how things are: I know. It's impossible that Cristiano doesn't get along with Bruno Fernandes or any of his teammates because he's a fantastic person.
Cristiano would have scored as many goals as he wanted at Real Madrid. At Manchester United, things did not go well for him, because the people there interfered with him. The player needs peace so that everything goes well for him. There are many footballers who speak badly of him. They are not even worth the soles of his shoes.
At the World Cup, he will shut up many people. He has something to offer, I know what he is capable of,” Coentrau said in a comment to Record.
