Antonio Cassano has recently shared a revealing story about his ongoing tensions with Cristiano Ronaldo, particularly regarding comments Cassano made about Ronaldo’s standing in football history. After Cassano excluded Ronaldo from his top ten list of footballers, Ronaldo reportedly reached out to him via text message. Cassano claims that the message, which came from an unrecognized number, contained a list of Ronaldo’s numerous trophies and achievements, accompanied by a voice note where Ronaldo expressed that he felt “disrespected” by Cassano’s remarks
In the voice message, Ronaldo confronted Cassano, emphasizing his accomplishments and criticizing the former player’s career statistics, noting that Cassano had scored only about 150 goals and won four titles
Cassano, unperturbed, responded directly to Ronaldo, stating, “Dear Cristiano, it’s not about disrespecting you; I just don’t like you as a player,” clarifying that his opinion was based on Ronaldo’s style of play rather than his accolades(
This interaction highlights the ongoing debate about Ronaldo’s legacy, with Cassano not shying away from sharing his critical perspective, which he has done in various public forums
