In an interview with SporTV Arena, Scolari lauded Ronaldo and agreed with the Portugal forward’s recent claim that away fans boo him because they are jealous.
”Some people do not like him because he is a great player, good-looking and has sex with all the ladies. People get jealous,” the former Chelsea boss said.
”The only bad thing about Cristiano’s life is Messi. If it wasn’t for Messi, Cristiano would be the best player in the world for five consecutive years.
”As a person he is spectacular, wonderful. He works socially like no other. He’s a good team-mate, a great footballer, and a great friend.
”He likes to mess about and joke around, but his professionalism is at the highest level.”
