'Shorty' Florenzi scoffs at Juventus star Ronaldo: He reckons he's entitled

AS Roma wing-back Alessandro Florenzi has dismissed his clash with Cristiano Ronaldo after victory over Juventus.

Florenzi struck in the 2-0 win, though before his goal he and Ronaldo exchanged barbs with the Juve star caught on camera saying: 'You're too short to talk.'

The midfielder said, “We'd put the ball out of play twice so someone could get treatment and twice he played it. We could've gone on the counter with Kolarov in the first half, but we put it out of play, because that's the kind of people we are.

“He's the Ballon d'Or and thinks he has the right to do everything he did. I say and do a lot of dumb things on the pitch too, but it stays there."
