adminLONDON. — Real Madrid have launched a stinging attack on Fifa president Sepp Blatter, accusing him of “unacceptable” and “disrespectful” comments towards Cristiano Ronaldo. The Real Madrid forward and his club interpreted comments made by Blatter in an address to the Oxford Union last week as a serious slight on the player.
Ronaldo appeared to feel Blatter was mocking him after being asked to compare the Portugal international with Lionel Messi. Madrid president Florentino Perez wrote a letter to Blatter to express his “disgust”, with Blatter writing back to apologise and also saying sorry personally to Ronaldo on Twitter. Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti also claimed Blatter’s behaviour showed a “lack of respect”.
Blatter had described Messi as a “good boy” before going on to say, in apparent reference to Ronaldo, that “one has more expenses for the hairdresser than the other”.
The Fifa president then concluded by saying he preferred Messi of the two players. Perez was particularly outspoken in his criticism of the comments, saying the matter was “a huge disappointment among the Madrid family, especially since these unfortunate and unacceptable actions come from the president of world football’s governing body”. — Sky Sports.
