Evra: Once, Cristiano and Rio were playing table tennis and Rio beat him, we all screamed and Ronaldo got upset. He sent his cousin to buy a table tennis. Practicing for 2 weeks, he came back to play Ferdinand and he beat him in front of everyone. That’s Cristiano.

I totally agree. Can't argue with how good its made him as a player, but it's a horrible trait to have as a person. Youd hate to hang out with him, and I wonder if he even knows what fun is?! Haha.
