The Mexican coach Hugo Sanchez said the Portuguese midfielder Cristiano Ronaldo, who is part of Real Madrid, it’s like he was in his playing days.
Recalling some things, Sanchez Marquez said he received many samples of hate both Atlético de Madrid and Real Madrid, back in the 80s, a situation that he took advantage of to improve and show his footballing qualities.
On this point, mentioned that this has got it all to the now world’s most expensive player, Cristiano Ronaldo, who is not well regarded by most players.
“CR9 es como era yo. A él, como a mi me pasaba, el odio le motiva. Lo que hay son muchos celos,” said five-time champion league scorer in Spain.
In addition, former Almeria coach called for the physical care of a player as talented as Cristiano Ronaldo.
“Sería triste que los defensas vayan ahora por él. Por el bien del futbol todos debemos defender al portugués,” said the strategist Mexican sports daily Marca.
Also, Hugo Sanchez called on the fans of Atlético de Madrid, where he won a Pichichi in the campaign of 1984-1985, to forgive the fact that as a footballer, he emigrated to bitter rivals Real Madrid at the end of that season.
“Espero que la afición algún día me perdone el hecho de haberme ido al Madrid. Ya hubo otros jugadores que lo hicieron a lo largo de la historia y no pasó nada de nada. Espero que sus aficionados cambien el ´chip´ y no haya rencor hacia mí. En el Atlético gané una Copa y un Pichichi de máximo goleador, que, por cierto, donaré al club”.
“I hope my fans can forgive me someday for the fact that I went to Madrid. Other players have done this throughout history and nothing happened at all. I hope my fans change the ‘chip’ so that there is no grudge towards me. At Atlético I won a Cup and an award for the top scorer, in which, I will donate to the club. “
