Cristiano Ronaldo transferred from Manchester United to Real Madrid for a record breaking fee of £80 million in 2009. In Real Madrid, under the guidance-ship of Jose Mourinho, his goal-scoring abilities rocketed to a whole new level.
The former Real Madrid boss rejoined the Premier League as Chelsea FC’s new manager.
It was no secret that Mourinho and Ronaldo were often at loggerheads with each other. So when asked in an interview with Spanish television show Punto Pelota why his relationship with Ronaldo had broken down towards the end of last season, Mourinho cited the player’s inability to respond well to criticism as a reason.
“I had only one problem with him, very simple, very basic, which was when a coach criticizes a player from a tactical viewpoint trying to improve what in my view could have been improved,” he added.
“And at that moment he didn’t take it very well because maybe he thinks he knows everything and the coach cannot help him to develop more.”
On the other hand, the manager also admitted that he has had three fantastic seasons with Ronaldo.
The question was prompted in the wake of a new speculation that Ronaldo might be thinking of moving away from the club following Real Madrid’s failure to win major silverware last season and reports of division in the dressing room.
But Club President Florentino Perez has reassured the masses that 28-year-old would stay and help Real win the 10th European crown they have been chasing since their last continental success in 2002.
