One of the few reasons why Cristiano Ronaldo is among the best players who ever played football is his competitiveness. The Portuguese is a hard worker, he is also talented, but he is spirited as well, and never gives up. He is also known for arguing with the referees and putting the additional pressure whenever possible, unlike for example Lionel Messi. It doesn‘t matter if it‘s the Premier League, Spain, Italy or Saudi Arabia, he is pressuring every ‘man in black‘, and one of them decided to reveal how it looks like refereeing to Ronaldo.Cristiano has a revelation that we find almost impossible to believeReferee Said Martínez spoke to Mexican portal “Mediotiempo” about his refereeing in Saudi Arabia‘s Pro League and revealed an interesting story with Al-Nassr‘s captain as the main actor.”Cristiano Ronaldo is very difficult because of his temperament. He is a very competitive person who feels that a lot of injustice is done to him and that is why he often complains. We disallowed two goals from him, with VAR and everything, but there was one action that he was upset about because he thought he was fouled and that led to a goal being conceded. His team was about to lose the game. He stopped ten metres away from me and said: ‘It’s always the same with you. You always think you’re the stars, but we’re not bringing you here to be the stars, we are the stars. He started off calmly but then he got agitated and I just looked at him provocatively to see if he would come closer to me, but he didn’t“ Martinez explained.Cassano made harsh comments on CR7 and you won’t believe how Cristiano respondedThe referee eventually made amends with the fiery Portuguese at halftime, after Ronaldo calmed down.“After checking the disallowed goals, I asked him to come closer. Cristiano is Cristiano, if he doesn’t want to come, he won’t come. But he came over to me and I said to him: ‘You are a great player, but what you said at half-time is not right. I respect you a lot, but we are here to do our job, just like you“. He said: ‘Yes, you’re right, that wasn’t the right way to express myself. I apologize for that.’ He apologized to me, didn’t complain in the second half and even scored a fantastic free kick goal” said the referee.##NAJAVA_MECA_8414753##
