PHOTO:Ramos defends Ronaldo but insisted that the star did not express his opinion in the best way!
Sergio Ramos has
brushed off Cristiano Ronaldo's criticism of his fellow Real Madrid players and
insisted he is proud of all his team-mates.
Ronaldo claimed
after the 1-0 derby defeat to Atletico Madrid that "if the rest of the
Madrid players were as good as him, perhaps they would be first" in La
Liga while also suggesting the likes of Jese Rodriguez, Lucas Vazquez and Mateo
Kovacic were not of the standard required to win trophies.
Ronaldo's words
are unlikely to improve Madrid's already-fragile morale but Ramos insisted
the Portuguese meant nothing by it.
He told
AS:
"If anyone knows Cristiano, it is me. I don't think he wanted to
attack any of his team-mates but perhaps he did not express his opinion in the
best way.
"As captain
I feel proud of my team-mates' work and in difficult times we must emphasise
this. But everyone is free to have an opinion.
"I think
when results go against you there is more negativity, more excuses and more
opinions. It is tough, we have lost a derby and the league is
now almost impossible.
We still have the Champions League and we are
hoping to play well in that."
Ramos was also
quick to offer his backing to Jese and Vazquez, adding: "We are proud of
the youngsters who have come in and are desperate for an opportunity like Lucas
and Jese."
