Ronaldo takes another strike at Capello......

Ronaldo slams Capello
Thursday 8 March, 2007
Ronaldo has slammed his former Coach Fabio Capello stating that his methods are old fashioned, but Hector Cuper was worse.

The Brazilian returned to Italy in January, joining Milan from Real Madrid in a £5m move, also motivated by the lack of faith Capello seemed to have for him.

But now the Merengues’ poor performances in both La Liga and the Champions League have confirmed the Coach’s difficult relationship with his players.

“He is clearly in difficulty, he cannot be trusted any more,” Ronaldo said in an interview with weekly newspaper Panorama.

“He must understand that the time for authoritarian Coaches has ended, his way of dealing with his players is not up-to-date,” added Il Fenomeno.

“However, with Cuper it was even worse. Capello at least has a history behind him, he has won a lot. What has Cuper won?” added the striker, who controversially left Inter in 2002.

Inter and Milan meet on Sunday afternoon in the Derby della Madonnina, when Ronaldo will face his former teammates for the first time since his move to their city rivals, which did not please Nerazzurri chief Massimo Moratti.

“I understand his criticism, he had to say those things about my transfer, it was inevitable. In private however it is different, I have a deep affection for him.”

The former Golden Ball winner could not avoid a question on his weight either, which he answered with a smile on his face.

“Sooner or later I will take some pictures naked, so all this gossip on me being fat will finally end!,” he grinned. <--- Gross...mental picture! Thanks #99
