Capello's Harsh Criticism Of Cristiano Ronaldo: He's A Problem For Many Teams

JAKARTA - Cristiano Ronaldo continues to be criticized following his tensions with Manchester United some time ago. Now, the Italian coach Fabio Capello is the one who spoke up.

The former AC Milan, Real Madrid, and AS Roma coach was tough on Ronaldo.

"I think Cristiano Ronaldo has damaged his own career," Capello said, citing Marca, Tuesday.

Capello conducted an interview with the Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera, in which he deeply analyzed his opinion on the Portugal captain's situation.

"We're not talking about the player, but about the moment: he's looking around to offer himself without finding anyone who trusts him. He's been a bit of a distraction to the team," Capello said.

Capello was also asked about Argentina's 2022 World Cup win in Qatar. Especially about Dibu Martinez's celebration, the goalkeeper of Albiceleste, which he calls "stupid".

On the other hand, about Lionel Messi he said that "he is one of the best in the world even without the World Cup" and that "Pele, Diego Maradona and Messi have done things that other people don't even think of".
