Ronaldo is uneducated, sneers Mourinho
-
Jose Mourinho responded to seeing Manchester United all but snatch Chelsea’s Premiership title by launching another astonishing attack on Cristiano Ronaldo — this time insulting his family and ridiculing his lack of education. Mourinho accused United winger Ronaldo, who is also Portuguese, of "not showing maturity and respect" and attributed that to a "difficult childhood" with "no education".
ChelseaÂ’s manager has become embroiled in a war of words with the double PFA Player of the Year after complaining that United led a charmed life when it came to penalty decisions. Ronaldo replied that Mourinho "does not know how to admit his own failures" and the Stamford Bridge boss reacted by branding the 22-year-old "a liar".
Then, in the aftermath of ChelseaÂ’s 2-2 draw at home to Bolton on Saturday which saw them slip five points behind Premiership leaders United, Mourinho was asked about comments Sir Alex Ferguson had made in response to the row. Mourinho said: "ItÂ’s a game where a kid had some statements not very . . . not showing maturity and respect, maybe difficult childhood, no education, maybe the consequence of that. Sir Alex felt he had to protect his boy. But normal things . . . I have no problems with him (Ferguson). I have no problem with the boy."
Ferguson will not appreciate the remarks about his player, who had an impoverished background in Madeira, from someone who had a privileged upbringing and a university education. RonaldoÂ’s father Dinnis, a council gardener, died from kidney problems after a long battle against alcoholism. His mother Dolores was forced to take jobs as a cleaner and a cook and Ronaldo grew up in a tiny, tin-roofed shack.
Mourinho also came under subtle attack from Rafa Benitez, whose Liverpool side will seek to overturn a 1-0 deficit when they play Chelsea in the second leg of the Champions League semifinal at Anfield tomorrow. Benitez claimed Mourinho is under severe pressure, saying: "Chelsea have spent more money than anyone else in the world in the last five years. They have spent millions and they need to win trophies. If they cannot win the league now they will be under real pressure. "They are the favourites. We are the underdogs."
Mourinho, meanwhile, is understood to be unimpressed that his German midfielder Michael Ballack chose to have surgery on Friday night on an ankle injury that will rule him out for 10 days, jeopardising his chances of appearing in key end-of-season matches. -
The cheek of this guy is unbelievable.
His comments are totally disrespectful and unnecessary.
Ronnie's a better footballer than Moaninho by far and he's got there through all hard work! It just goes to show the lack of character that Jose has! -

So Ronaldo proved himself to be 'uneducated' because he hit back at Mourinho for once.
Despite Mourinho's apparent good upbringing and high level of education, he is behaving in the very same manner in which he criticised Ronaldo for - not showing maturity and respect. And let's take note that while Ronaldo only acted like this for once, how many times had Mourinho acted like that? We can't finish counting with our fingers and toes all added together!
Uneducated indeed.

Fergie: It's Mourinho that lacks class not Ronaldo
Sir Alex Ferguson has launched a furious attack on Jose Mourinho following the Chelsea manager's latest outburst about Cristiano Ronaldo. Mourinho branded Ronaldo a "liar" last week for questioning his claim that 'new rules' were in operation in the Premier League which prevented Chelsea from getting a penalty and United from conceding one.
Ferguson hit back with predictable force, although that only triggered another snide, personal retort from Mourinho, who accused Ronaldo of being uneducated because he came from working-class family in Madeira.
The attack is clearly a step too far for Ferguson, a socialist to the core, who takes immense pride in his own roots forged in the shipyards of Govan. And the Scot has now rounded on Mourinho, who was brought up in the comfort of a middle-class family in Setubal.
"I don't know why he has done this," said Ferguson. "Maybe he is trying to unsettle the boy. But it is really below the belt to bring class into it. "Just because you come from a poor, working-class background does not mean to say you are not educated. "What Ronaldo has are principles, that is why he has not responded to it. Other people are educated but have no principles."
Ferguson has declared his desire to draw a line under the row, although that seems highly unlikely given the number of times United must face Chelsea before the campaign reaches its conclusion. The Red Devils are due at Stamford Bridge in eight days' time for the game which, providing the title has not already been tied up by then, could see Ferguson's men crowned champions.
The pair will then meet at Wembley on May 19 in the FA Cup final, when one of them will be thirsting to gain revenge for their failure to win the league. In addition, it is already certain England's top two will collide in next season's Community Shield, while the possibility of a Champions League epic in Athens on May 23 could become a reality over the next 24 hours. -

to be objective, I think what Jose has said is taken out of context.
And normally, papers use these words as headlines to sell.
However, to even use these words, Jose has indirectly taken a swipe at all people who can't afford education, and that is unwelcome.
Hopefully, it was taken out of context, and thus, no more storm out of a teacup. -
