Real Madrid have responded angrily to comments from FIFA
president Sepp Blatter that appeared to
mock Cristiano Ronaldo.Blatter was asked at the Oxford University Union on Friday for his opinion on Real Madrid and Portugal forward Ronaldo and Barcelona's World Player of the Year Lionel Messi.
Ronaldo was the last player to land the World Player award in 2008 before Argentine Messi won four in a row....
Blatter said they were both exceptional players but added that, unlike Messi, Ronaldo resembled "a commander on the field of play". He then rose from his chair and strutted on the stage in military fashion in apparent imitation of the Portuguese...."One (Ronaldo) has more expenses for the hairdresser than the other but that doesn't matter," he added to widespread laughter. "I cannot say who is the best, there will again be a contest this year....
"We sent FIFA a letter asking for the president to tell us what are the real intentions of his words since we do not understand how he could make such comments," added Gomes.
Earlier, coach Carlo Ancelotti explained that Real president Florentino Perez had written to FIFA to ask them to clarify remarks he said showed "a lack of respect to a very serious and very professional player".....
