“Cristiano wrote to me on WhatsAppasking for more respect for everything he has won and for the goals he has scored. I am not afraidto tell the truth, I will face the whole world, from the Pope to the last person on this earth.
“I asked Buffonhow he [Ronaldo] could have my number and he confirmed that he had given it to the press officer, who passed it on to Cristiano. He told me that he had scored 750 goals and I had only scored 150.
“I replied ‘Be like Messi, who doesn’t care about anything, instead of writing to me. Buffon and Chiellini know that this made me angry.Cristiano, what’s wrong with you? What’s your problem’?”,Cassano was quoted as saying toBoboTV.
