Cicinho slaughters Real Madrid atmosphere, Raul privileges
Brazilian fullback Cicinho has slammed the culture at Real Madrid and the influence of captain Raul.
Cicinho, currently playing on-loan at Sao Paulo from Roma, says foreign players at Real are not treated fairly.
"Leaving Madrid to go to Rome for me was a kind of liberation. There, I was a prisoner," said Cicinho. "People said I was crazy to leave, but I knew what I was doing. The crowd was not the problem, the problem was what happened in the locker room.
"The atmosphere at Real Madrid was terrible, mainly because of the small group of Spanish players."
He continued: "Raul has privileges at the club. The big problem is that everything that happens in the locker room the press finds out about.
"Since Roberto Carlos left, the Brazilians lost strength. At Real Madrid there is a tendency to treat foreigners badly. It looks like they are trying now to do the same with Kaka, who is questioned while being the best in the world."

look a like u're a brasilian huhh? no wonder u support him. look here diego, when he's at madrid he couldn't defend properly. even if he's play as a wigner, he couldn't cross the ball. terrible defending, cannot dribble at all. what he got only PACE. thats all !!!
actually mr.sukmy Cicinho's Roma knocked Real out of the Champions League , and would have had a great career if not for 2 Major knee injuries. That is the real reason he is back at his "hometown" .. It amazes me the ignorance of some the people who just go post whatever crap comes into their head. It is like they are not capable of hearing anything negatvie about their team then responding in a mature knowledgeable manner. You could of defending Madrid or uses some sort of facts to state a case against Cicinho, but no you just make Madrid and Madristdistas look ignorant.
ShutUp twats. fcuking moron... lol. Flop, raul is a leader, captain of the club... cant u see RC (Roberto Carlos) staying there for 10 years? he's good on the pitch, not like u! thats why u make noise, because madrid is for the best player. roma dont even want you at their club, now they shipped u to your hometown.
