"Cristiano Ronaldo is not arrogant "

Portugal international Quaresma has said his Portugal team captain Cristiano Ronaldo is not arrogant.

There have been a lot of criticism that the Real Madrid superstar is arrogant. However, Quaresma has stated that his captain and the three Ballon d'or winner is not arrogant;

"[Ronaldo] is a person who likes to play. He's not as arrogant as people paint," the Euro 2016 winner told Jornal de Noticias .
"And he is a great captain. A person who's always ready to help our colleagues.

"I have admired him since we started playing at Sporting, because already as kids he showed his strength.
"Sometimes I played with him and [it was] said: 'you're small, you're skinny, you won't be able to get there'.
"And Cristiano was going into the bathrooms to fill buckets and do weights with buckets.
He is a person who never let himself go down for anything or anyone."

And when asked on the knee injury that cut short Ronaldo's participation in the Euro 2016 final against France, the Bekitas' man said:
 "What are we thinking? You are missing your leader. He is our leader.
"But the truth is that we gave a good answer and he did not fail to support his colleagues. "In pain or no pain, and at the time he was in so much pain, he was jumping and pushing everyone so that his colleagues heard."
