"I'm 100% behind the president"

"The new teammates are top players! And with them we have a great squad. Bring it all on! All the best and come on Real Madrid!", Ronaldo added.

Cristiano Ronaldo decided to clarify his controversial remarks on the departures of Xabi Alonso and Ángel di María via his Facebook account: "My comments have been misinterpreted. I listened to my president yesterday and I'm 100% behind him".

"The new teammates are top players! And with them we have a great squad. Bring it all on! All the best and come on Real Madrid!", Ronaldo added. The Portuguese forward bit his tongue a few days ago when he was asked about the changes made to the squad that won 'La Décima', but seemed to suggest he was not very satisfied.

"I have a very clear opinion, but I can't always say what I think. If not, it would be on the front pages of the newspapers tomorrow and that's not what I want. But if I were in charge, I might not have done things the same way. But if the president thinks the best thing for the squad is signing the players he signed and letting the others go, then you have to respect and support his decisions", he said on 1st September.

The Portugal international decided to take to social media to clarify his support for the Real Madrid president and expressed his will to give his all this season with the aim of winning more trophies for the team. Florentino Pérez said on Friday that there is "no quarrel" with Ronaldo and added that their relationship is "fantastic".
