Quaresma: Ronaldo not arrogant

Cristiano Ronaldo has often been criticized for his abundance of self-confidence but Ricardo Quaresma says he is not arrogant.

Ricardo Quaresma says his Portugal teammate Cristiano Ronaldo is misunderstood and is not as arrogant as perceived.

The pair played together at Sporting CP in the early 2000s before Ronaldo's move to Manchester Unite, and have teamed up regularly for the national side.

The Real Madrid superstar has unquestionably earned a place among the pantheon of the greatest players in history, but his on-field demeanor and sometimes seemingly selfish attitude have drawn criticism in the past.
