José Mourinho, in a desperate attempt to use every remaining hour of his employment at Real Madrid to fall out with everyone in the club has suggested, outrageously, that Cristiano Ronaldo may have a slight ego issue. This has been made into a big story by many, but honestly, is anyone surprised by what Mourinho said to Spanish television last night?
"I had only one problem with him, very simple, very basic, which was when a coach criticises a player from a tactical viewpoint trying to improve what in my view could have been improved. 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."
"Cristiano has had three fantastic seasons with me, I don't know if they were the best of his career because he had some fantastic moments with Manchester United. I think we created a fantastic situation for him tactically in which he could express all his potential and turn that into records and goals."
Hardly character assassination is it? I think this photo should back Mourinho's point up nicely.
