Lately, there has been an indirect exchange of words between Cristiano Ronaldo and Antonio Cassano, with the latter frequently criticizing the famed Portuguese star. This time, however, Ronaldo responded directly to Cassano.
Details: Previously, the Italian had commented that Ronaldo "doesn’t know how to play football" and suggested that his sole focus is on scoring goals rather than teamwork. According to Cassano, Ronaldo replied with a list of his accomplishments, backed by a voice message where he asked Cassano to show him respect.
Quote: "I said Ronaldo, the Brazilian, is number one. Cristiano isn’t in my top five or even ten because, to me, a player's quality is something else entirely. Later, I receive a text from a Spanish number, +34. It was a list of all his trophies, goals, and stats.
He sent me a voice message saying, ‘You disrespected me, don’t do that again. You’ve scored just 150 goals and won only four trophies.’ I replied, ‘Dear Cristiano, listen. You think I disrespected you, but you simply don’t appeal to me as a player. What’s the problem?’” Cassano shared while appearing on the BSMT Podcast.
