“There is something I don't understand…I think that because I am rich, handsome and a great player people are envious of me… I don't have any other explanation".
These are the words that Cristiano Ronaldo said after playing against Dinamo Zagreb. Real Madrid won 1-0 in the first football match of the Champions League in 2011. Throughout the match CR was booed and whistled at. What is more, he received several kicks, one of which caused him to have three stitches on his right ankle.
Did CR act in the proper way? Is it good to always tell the truth?
From my point of view he did the right thing. However, he might have used other, more polite words. It is undeniable that he is rich, handsome and a great player. Nevertheless, declaring ithimself is not elegant. Actually, there are others who could have said it (such as his coach José Mourinho). CR said he was also angry due to his lack of protection from referees:"I hope we never have this referee again. People talk of fair-play, of protecting good players, but I never get any of that.I'm sad because I hear referees saying they will protect skillful players, but while some are untouchable it seems I can be mauled”. Ronaldo complained about the referee SveinOddvar Moen who sent Marcelo offdue to some irrelevant acts. However, he allowed hard tackles and didn’t punish them.
Since football was invented, it has always been a reason for debate. Moreover, in the last few years not only have matches been commented on but also football players, coaches, chairmen… Actually, the ones that are criticized the most are those who keep everything aboveboard. In contrast, those who talk in a general way, without referring to themselves (Messi, Guardiola…) are liked by most people. I prefer the ones that say what they feel, those who don’t care about what other people will say about them.

I think that the comentarie before have a lot of reason and maybe all the bad comentaries about Cristiano Ronaldo are caused by the envy to him because he have had a lot of luck in life, much more that all of us.
