Emre Can reveals what Cristiano Ronaldo is REALLY like | OneFootball

With all his money, fame and success, Cristiano Ronaldo has often been accused of being an egotistical prima donna.

But according to his Juventus team-mate Emre Can, Ronaldo is actually just a normal guy deep down.

“Of Ronaldo, I can say that he is a very quiet type, with his feet firmly on the ground,” said Can, as reported by the Express.

“He doesn’t show off his star-like appearance and impresses me a lot, he is the first to say hello, thank you for everything.

“He does not behave so only with us team-mates, but also with all the masseurs, coaches, etc. People would be surprised to see how normal he is.”

Ronaldo has been charged with improper conduct by Uefa after celebrating his hat-trick completing goal against Atlético Madrid last week by appearing to mock Diego Simeone’s controversial ‘cojones’ celebration.

But Can believes the Portuguese superstar should be allowed to celebrate however he wants.

“I don’t want to evaluate [Ronaldo’s] gesture, but after that of Simeone in the first leg, it must be said that someone like Ronaldo, given the performance, is allowed to respond and celebrate as he wishes,” said the German midfielder.

“Everyone in the stadium knew to whom the exultation was addressed.

“I have a great time with him, I was delighted with his hat-trick because the first leg wasn’t easy for him.

“He had to swallow several bitter mouthfuls and wanted to answer, but the way he did it, with that hat-trick, is incredible.”
