Orlando City Brazilian veteran player and former player of Real Madrid, Kaka, urged the capital side’s fans on Wednesday to show more respect to Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo who was booed during a La Liga match against Celta Vigo earlier this month.
Ronaldo became Real’s all-time top scorer this season, in which he managed to score 41 goals in all competitions in the current campaign, but the forward continues to endure a touchy relationship with the club’s supporters.
In an interview with Spanish radio station Cadena Cope on Wednesday, Kaka said “Cristiano is a great player and I’m not just talking about his quality, but what he has contributed to Real Madrid.”
“I’d like to see supporters show more respect to Cristiano for what he has done for this club. Hearing people boo Cristiano is not right after everything he has done for this club,” the Brazilian forward added.
Kaka also highlighted Ronaldo’s record at Real Madrid and insisted “The only thing I would like is to see a little more appreciation of what Cristiano has done there, which is a lot.”
