Real Madrid coach Fabio Capello has made the surprising admission that Ronaldo is the best player he has ever coached.
The Brazilian has since been highly critical of Capello, and in the weeks before Real won the title last Sunday, he said: "I hope Real Madrid win the League but only for the sake of my old team-mates, not for the coach, who doesnÂ’t deserve it."
Such utterances would surely have enraged Capello, whose future at the club is far from certain.
But he said: "Ronaldo needed a change of scenery to rediscover his motivation. He is the best player I have ever coached."
Capello also spoke about Antonio Cassano who has rarely featured for the club this season.
"He is an undeniable talent, but that is not enough to play a key role in a team and play regularly," Capello told Sky Italia.
