Hristo Stoichkov feels Ronaldo should change his ways when dealing with the pressure from fans. He feels CR7 is jelous of the comparisons that Messi gets with Pele and Maradona.

Hristo Stoichkov, mostly remembered for his days with Barcelona, assumes Cristiano Ronaldo is slowly looking for an exit from Real Madrid. It wouldn’t surprise him if the club’s president, Fiorentino Perez decided to sell CR7.

“Sooner or later Cristiano will be sold by the president. The world of soccer works like that, but it depends on the president,” Stoichkov said.

The former striker, who played 84 games with his national team, Bulgaria, now works as an analyst for Univision in Mexico. Just like Ronaldo is experiencing right now, Stoichkov felt he went through a rough patch in his career.

“I got applauded and whistled. At that moment you had to show your personality. 99% of the players can’t figure out why they get whistled at,” he added.

He disapproved Cristiano’s attitude last Sunday at the Santiago Berbabeu. Apparently the Ballon d’Or winner did not like it one bit either when Bale scored nor when the crowd jeered at him.

“If you don’t celebrate a goal from your teammate you are worthless,” Stoichkov claimed.

Ronaldo reprehensible attitude was clearly shown when not celebrating with his teammatesRonaldo's attitude has not been as expected latelySomething that he feels could be affecting the Portuguese player is the way Messi is compared with Pele and Maradona. His only competition seems to be with La Pulga. The Bulgarian believes Cristiano feeds off from Messi’s success.

“I wouldn’t suggest Ronaldo anything, I would suggest Messi to score three,” the 1995 FIFA player of the Year added.

The former Bulgarian manager has fond memories of his time in Barcelona. From 1990 to 1998 (except 1995-1996 when he was with Parma in Italy) he played in over 150 games and scored 77 goals. He is now a fan of Los Cules and hopes they win everything that comes in their way.

“Barcelona, more than the actual score itself (at El Clasico) will win La Liga,” he said.
