“Who is that guy?” – Ronaldo Responds to Van der Vaart’s ‘Selfish’ Comment
Cristiano Ronaldo has hit back at his former Real Madrid teammate Rafael van der Vaart after the Dutchman criticized him in a recent interview.
The exchange between the two former footballers came after Van der Vaart labeled Ronaldo as “selfish” during an appearance on talkSPORT.
Ronaldo and Van der Vaart shared a brief spell together at Real Madrid, where the Portuguese star was already becoming a global football sensation.
Although they were teammates for a short period, their relationship has now come into the spotlight following Van der Vaart’s controversial remarks.
In the interview, Van der Vaart acknowledged Ronaldo’s exceptional work ethic but took aim at his mentality, describing him as “selfish.”
The former Tottenham star suggested that Ronaldo was only satisfied when he found the back of the net, implying that his focus on personal achievements sometimes overshadowed the team’s success.
Not one to shy away from a response, Ronaldo took to Instagram, where he posted a blunt four-word comment: “Who is that guy?”
The simple yet pointed remark seemed to dismiss Van der Vaart’s criticism entirely, indicating that Ronaldo had little regard for the opinions of his former teammate.
Cristiano Ronaldo speaks on his son’s future and football career after watching his training sessions.
He spoke about his 16-year-old son “He’s a good kid. Honest, a good kid. The others are tougher. The ones I have at home, the younger ones. This one is no problem. The others…”
“When I was his age, he was a bit bigger and stronger. I was smaller. I believe he will be bigger than me in size. The hunger is the most challenging aspect.”
Footballers João Pedro and Moisés Caicedo have shared their thoughts on the recent transfer of former Brighton player Danny Welbeck.
It can be noted that Welbeck recently completed a move to Stamford Bridge. Pedro shared “This will mark the third occasion we have played together, and I believe, just as he did for me previously, he will extend his support to everyone in the squad. Danny embodies that spirit; he is incredibly helpful and genuinely wishes the best for everyone around him and for the team.
“It is well-known that he is an exceptional player. I am eager to play alongside him once more, and I believe he will be a tremendous asset to our group.”
Real Madrid player Vinícius Júnior has spoken about his contract and how things have been since discussions began.
He said “It’s gone very well, meeting the new coach and the new players and training very hard. Mourinho wants me to be as I’ve always been: happy, cheerful, and that I play my football.”
“We have to prepare physically so that during the season we have fewer injuries and we can count on everybody. Monday was a double session, Tuesday is one session. So let’s go. Today we did a bit of work in the gym and a short session to load our legs some more.”
