Real Madrid skipper Casillas insists fans back Ronaldo

Real Madrid captain Iker Casillas has defended teammate Cristiano Ronaldo.

Ronaldo has been the subject of barracking from Real fans this season.

Casillas told realmadrid.com: "Cristiano Ronaldo is a very competitive player who always tries hard and wants to do his best.

"People will always ask a lot of him because of the sort of player he is. He wants to do his best for himself and for the club. The Bernabeu crowd is very demanding, and that's a good thing. There is no debate about his quality. He has always had the support of the fans."

With an array of attacking talent at their disposal, Portugal will be looking to go one step further than their previous best performance as runners-up at the 2004 European Championships.

He may be appreciated by his team mate because they know talent when they see it but ultimately its the fans that you got to please. No fans no money.The fans have spoken and they are clearly not happy with CR7.The choice is his, if he stays he needs to adapt to what the fans want if he leaves he must settle for a pay cut. i would hate to be in his shoes.

I fail t understand the boo boys at the Bernabeu they act like a pack of *****, these are typical barbarians in civilized societies they shld go t the costs of Somalia to join their fellows the pirates and it's embarrassing for someone like DeStefano to take sides with them shame on u DeStefano I guess they shld call u Disturbed .
