Jose Mourinho comes to the defence of his star player, Cristiano Ronaldo, who is mostly shown hostility by the opposing fans
The Portuguese coach admitted that http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Cristiano-Ronaldo-c9629’s past behaviour is what is causing problems for him at the moment. Mourinho believes his player conducts himself very well and doesn’t deserve the hostile reception he receives
in away encounters.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ronaldo-c31734 was booed my Real Mallorca fans after his team’s 5-0 victory over the home side. However, his coach, Jose Mourinho came to his defence.
"Insults aimed at Ronaldo? I don't think what I say will change anything."
The 49-year-old commented on how difficult it is for his player to be insulted at an away game. He conceded that some of Ronaldo’s reactions could be criticized but that he doesn’t deserve to be treated this way and that he has
never witnessed his player responding in a rude manner.
"It is not easy for a player to play away from home and be insulted. You can criticise some of his reactions, but I've never seen Ronaldo answer insults with bad manners."
Meanwhile, the former Dutch star, Ruud Gullit, also came to the defence of the 27-year-old. He revealed that people criticise Ronaldo because they are jealous of him and they also envy his good looks.
"I think http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Cristiano-c9622 Ronaldo is a phenomenon. The same thing happens to him as it did to [David] Beckham; people criticise them because they are envious that they’re very good-looking," Gullit said to
ESPN.
Moreover, Jose Mourinho also talked about the recent rumours regarding his rift with the second team coach, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alberto-c4309 Toril, and said that his relationship with him is normal. It was suggested the problem lies with Mourinho’s hesitance
regarding playing home-grown players in his squad.
"My relationship with Toril is normal. I do my work with the first team; he works with the second team, in this case."
Mourinho’s team are still eight points behind their bitter rivals, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604, in the Spanish La Liga.
