Former Brazil boss Luiz Felipe Scolari has hit out at “absurd and ridiculous” Ronaldo over his sex scandal.
The Milan striker claimed three prostitutes tried to blackmail him in Rio de Janeiro after he failed to realise they were transvestites.
“This is an absurd and ridiculous situation,” slammed Felipao. “Sometimes people don’t like to hear the truth about themselves.
“That is why they surround themselves with people who aren’t good for them and so end up doing ridiculous things.
“I know people in the football world who do this sort of thing, but at least they do them well and nobody ever finds out.”
Scolari was Ronaldo’s Coach when Brazil won the 2002 World Cup in Japan and Korea.
Meanwhile, Brazilian telephone company TIM have denied they tore up Ronaldo’s sponsorship contract after the scandal.
Milan tactician Carlo Ancelotti also broke his silence over the Ronaldo affair.
“I care about him and it’s a shame. Certainly it wasn’t his finest hour, but I am not going to judge people’s private lives,” said Ancelotti.
