Roma midfielder David Pizarro was bitter after last night’s defeat against Manchester United and has labelled Cristiano Ronaldo as ”cocky”.
The Giallorossi were once again undone by the Red Devils at the Stadio Olimpico last night in the Champions League quarter-finals.
Portuguese ace Ronaldo was the star of the show with a goal and a virtuoso performance, but there is some friction between the former Sporting Lisbon man and his opponents.
“There is no doubt that he has quality, but it is also true that he has a big head,” Pizarro rasped after the game.
“Some of his little tricks in the middle of the pitch were unnecessary and he needs to show some respect to his opposition. You can bet that we will have something to say about it in the return leg.”
Despite the 2-0 score line Roma played well without captain Francesco Totti and things could have been very different had they shown a killer instinct.
“We played our game and we are disappointed that we weren’t able to make the most of our chances,” Pizarro lamented.
“Games are decided by certain moments, but I’d be interested to see how many shots they had.
“It just went badly even though we created plenty and if we had been able to convert our opportunities we wouldn’t have lost.
“We still believe in our Scudetto and Champions League chances – this team will never give up.”
