Final Verdict: Jose Mourinho Says Cristiano Ronaldo Is Not A Diver
CR9 is currently on the sidelines following an ankle injury he picked up against Real Mallorca on the opening day of La Liga. Talking about the star winger, Real Madrid Coach Jose Mourinho defended Cristiano Ronaldo as he criticized guilty defenders.
“Cristiano is a player who doesn’t have the culture of the swimming pool. He doesn’t have the culture of simulation. He is actually a British-trained player, Ferguson-trained.
“Sometimes, simulators receive more protection whereas honest players often tend to lose. I am not a hypocrite when I say that Cristiano Ronaldo is being hit very hard. But yellow cards don’t arrive are they are slow to be flashed.”
