London, Sept 16 : Cristiano Ronaldo appears to be too proud of his
possessions, including his looks, with reports saying that the
Portuguese footballer claimed that people are the "jealous" of his rich
and lavish lifestyle.
"People are envious of me because I''m rich, handsome and a great
player. There''s no other explanation," the New York Daily News quoted
Ronaldo, as saying following his team''s 1-0 Champions League win over
Dinamo Zagreb on Wednesday.
His arrogant comments come in response to a reporter''s questions
about the insults Ronaldo was subjected to throughout the game.
During a Euro 2012 qualifier last week, fans shouted "Messi, Messi"
(as in Lionel Messi, Ronaldo''s archrival and the world''s greatest
soccer player) every time the Portuguese international touched the ball.
Ronaldo also commented on match referee Oddvar Moen and his colleagues.
"The refs say they protect the talented players. When I play, nobody
protects me. Others, you can''t touch them, but me, you can hit me with a
stick. I don''t get it," he added.
