Capello and Ronaldo exchange insults over Real Madrid experience

Real Madrid heroes Fabio Capello and Ronaldo have exchanged barbs in the press this week.

Capello kicked things off complaining about Ronaldo's weight when they were together in Madrid.

“He showed up in Madrid weighing 96kg, I asked him to come down to 88-90, but it was no use," he told Gazzetta.it.

“He was a really great champion, but for the team he was a negative leader. When we sold him in January, the whole environment changed and we recovered 9 points from Barcelona."

Ronaldo replied through Brazilian outlet Folha.

“Capello was a great Coach in his time, in the 90s," said Ronaldo.

“When he came to Real Madrid though he was already cooked and he could no longer motivate his players.

“Proof of that is the fact that in the following years he never won anything with the teams that he coached."
