Real Madrid star
Cristiano Ronaldo threw a
wobbler upon being substituted in yesterday's 3-0 win over
Tenerife.
Ronaldo was replaced on 79
minutes and blanked coach Manuel Pellegrini as he made his way to
the home dugout. Pellegrini went to greet the Portuguese, but was
ignored.
A similar demonstration occurred against Xerez - the only other
time Ronaldo has been
substituted.
Ronaldo insists he's not
fighting Barcelona star
Lionel Messi for the Golden
Boot, but was visibly fuming over the decision to take him off with
Tenerife flagging in the final ten minutes.
Pellegrini said: "I do not give importance to this, because no
player likes be changed. But he has to obey it."
