- Says Ronaldo’s only objective has always been to score
Former Italy international, Antonio Cassano has criticised Cristiano Ronaldo, saying the Portuguese icon does not know how to play football.
Cassano said this on the Viva El Futbol podcast, insisting that the likes of Gonzalo Higuain, Sergio Aguero, Luis Suarez, and Zlatan Ibrahimović are better strikers than the former Manchester United, Real Madrid and Juventus star.
He said, via GOAL, “Cristiano Ronaldo doesn’t know how to play football. He could score 3000 goals, I don’t give a f*ck.
“[Gonzalo] Higuain, [Sergio] Aguero, [Karim] Benzema, [Robert] Lewandowski, [Zlatan] Ibrahimovic and [Luis] Suarez knew how to link-up with the team.
“They knew how to do a lot of things, unlike Ronaldo whose only objective has always been to score.”
In response, Ronaldo’s sister, Elma Aveiro claimed that the former Italian forward has no clue how to score 900 goals, while her brother has done it.
Aveiro hit out at Cassano, claiming that the Italian was just a ball boy and never a footballer.
“One wakes up to these things. I don’t know this poor guy. It doesn’t matter, but just one thing for him, he doesn’t know how to score 900 goals,” she wrote on Instagram.
“Imagine if he did. They say he was a footballer. I think they’re wrong, he was certainly a ball boy.”
