No dissent amongst the Real Madrid ranks
Over the past month, there have been persistent rumors about a rift between Cristiano Ronaldo and Iker Casillas. Reports from Spain suggest that the feud between the two started when Casillas’ girlfriend called the Portuguese star a selfish player a few
months ago. Ronaldo’s skill with the ball is universally acknowledged; however, his personality and attitude have often come under question. Barcelona defender, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Dani-Alves-c9869 recently called the winger ‘arrogant’. It was rumored that the Portuguese winger quarreled
with Real goalkeeper Iker Casillas in the dressing room, leading to a feud between the two players.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lionel-Messi-c22296 is the world’s best player, choosing the Argentinean over his own teammate Ronaldo. The statement came after Real Madrid’s 5-0 thrashing at the hands of Barcelona. The Spanish media regarded his
comments as a snub to Cristiano Ronaldo, leading to renewed speculation about the relationship between the two stars. Club officials have been quick to shrug off the rumors though, saying that the team is united and disciplined and there are no internal problems
between players. Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho vehemently denied reports of the feud. The manager accused the media of making up the entire thing, saying that the rift was something that was conjured up to sell papers.
Real Madrid players have also defended their teammates. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Spain-c3011
number 1 finally silenced the rumors, saying,
’There are people who try to create controversy and a bad atmosphere within the team. Meanwhile, it’s just the opposite, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Cristiano-Ronaldo-c9629 and I get along very well. We come from different places. But, this doesn’t mean that we’re distant or that we have
confrontations. There are good vibes all around. We’ve just got to move on and not to be concerned by such stupidities (from the media).’
Casillas knows that his team has to be fully focused as they head into the new year 2 points behind their bitter rivals Barcelona. His statement put an end to weeks of speculation about internal problems in the Real Madrid camp, something that Jose Mourinho
will be thankful for as he prepares his team for a tough second half of the season.
