"Working with Ronaldo is easy: he wanted to play every game"

Crisitano Ronaldo left Man United after criticising the club publicly in an interview with Piers Morgan. It wasn't the best way to do it and he's received a lot of criticism.

Andrea Pirlo wanted to stand up for his ex-player, who he coached at Juventus for a while. The now Fatih Karagumruk manager was full of praise for the Portuguese man in the 'Daily Mail'.

"Cristiano is a world footballing icon, he works the same now at 35 as when he was young. For me it was easy to work with him. He was a good guy, very professional. He wanted to play every game and score in every one", he said.

For the ex-Juve boss, the fact that CR7 ended his stint at United in a bad way doesn't effect his memories of the striker at all. "Maybe he had a problem with another club, but for me it was a good experience".

Now, Ronaldo is happy at Al Nassr. In his last game against Al Wehda, he scored four past his opponents in 40 minutos.
