Cristiano Ronaldo says that a lot of people think he is arrogant, and this reputation has made him unpopular and disliked among football fans.
“I don’t want to cry about it, but sometimes I think yes,” he told CNN. “It’s a question to which I never give the 100% right answer, because sometimes I really don’t know. I don’t think it’s allowed for people to change my personality.
“Maybe sometimes, I agree that I have a bad image on the pitch because I’m too serious.”
The Real Madrid forward even admits that his competitive nature, has even crept into his personal life.
“If you really know me, if you are my friend and I leave you inside my house and you share the day with me, you will know I hate to lose,” he said. “If I am in the swimming pool with my girlfriend sometimes we like to have a race. Sometimes you have to give her an opportunity to be happy, but I win because I don’t like to lose.
“I’m a competitive man and sometimes people interpret that in a different way, which is a pain on me because I don’t like it, but I have to live.”
“People who call me arrogant, I’m interested, not with all of them, but most of them,” Ronaldo stated.
“One day I would like to sit with them and have a chat to see in which way they think I’m arrogant, because I think they need to sit with me to know who the real Cristiano is.”
