He was an incredible talent. But on top of it, a true weirdo. Antonio Cassano spent his career at Bari, AS Roma, Real Madrid, AC Milan, Inter Milan and represented Italy, but he will be mostly remembered for his strange character.Always liked to argue, both with teammates and other players. And he even continued doing so after the end of his professional career. A few days ago, he collided with Cristiano Ronaldo for making a very bold statement. “Cristiano Ronaldo doesn’t know how to play football. He can score 3,000 goals, I don’t care. Football was played by Higuain, Lewandowski, Benzema, Aguero, Ibrahimovic, Suarez… They know how to play team football. And what is Cristiano’s only goal? Let him score a goal. Goal, goal, goal”.Throwback to when Buffon owned Cassano😭😭😭😭Cassano: “You had the misfortune not to play with the greatest player in history. Tell me who I’m talking about? The one and only?”Buffon: “Ronaldo“ pic.twitter.com/bHpUbmP79B— Freddy🇩🇪 (@FreddyLA7) October 11, 2024 And while you’d expect Ronaldo to pay little or no attention to these things, Cassano actually got an almost instant response from the man himself!”You don’t have to do this again. You scored 150 goals, won only four trophies,” Ronaldo said in a voice message after forwarding Cassano the list of all the trophies he had won and the number of goals he had scored.But Cassano is not exactly a man to argue with…”My answer was: ‘Dear Cristiano Ronaldo, listen to me: what is your problem? I just never liked you as a player,'” Cassano finished the rant.##NAJAVA_MECA_8405644####EDITORS_CHOICE##Ronaldo’s case aside, the former Roma striker is also known for his extravagant life.”I grew up on the street. My mother always told me: ‘Antonio, we come from the basement, from s***t, but we will never go back’. And because I know what it’s like down there, I figured it out. Although I had that crazy episode after signing my first contract with Roma when I bought nine cars. Nine! Because I was an idiot. Two Ferraris, two Mercedes… I had everything,” said Cassano in the “BSMT podcast”.
