Cristiano Ronaldo, a bad example for James Rodriguez

Cristiano Ronaldo, Real Madrid’s star player, has become a bad example for James Rodriguez, his Colombian team-mate. That’s according to Faustino Asprilla, Colombia legend, who thinks that Ronaldo has taught James a poor way to behave.

 "James is my friend and I love him a lot,” Asprilla told ESPN Deportes.

"But I can see that his friendship with Cristiano Ronaldo at Real Madrid is damaging him.

"He now has the same gestures as Ronaldo when he doesn't get the ball. Ronaldo makes gestures at everyone when he doesn't get the ball, and James is doing the same with Colombia."

"James needs to improve with his teammates because he is playing in a team with many youngsters, and nobody stands up to him.

"In another team, he would get a slap. In my team nobody would have stood for it."

"Everyone can have disagreements with their teammates, but to make such gestures when they do not pass you ball is the ugliest thing a player can do.

"It is what Cristiano Ronaldo does every week."
