Alfredo Di Stefano: Real Madrid fans have the right to jeer Cristiano Ronaldo

Real Madrid legend Alfredo Di Stefano has stated his belief that the club's fans have every right to criticise a player if he fails to meet expectations.

Star player Cristiano Ronaldo recently expressed his dismay with the treatment he's been getting from the fans, and didn't celebrate after scoring in the 5-1 win over Granada last weekend.

Nevertheless, Di Stefano feels that Ronaldo shouldn't question the fans' actions, but accept that he'll be jeered if he misses goalscoring chances.

"The whistles against Cristiano Ronaldo? The people in the crowd are the ones who pay, and they are always right," said Di Stefano to Agencia Atlas.

"If the spectators demand from the players that they do their utmost and score goals, the players shouldn't question this.

"The fans are always right. If they whistle or jeer someone, it's because they want him to be effective."

The Portugal international has already scored 21 goals in 17 La Liga appearances. However, he received his fair share of criticism after failing to find the net in the 3-1 home loss against Barcelona in early December.

Pretty much what everyone's been saying here. But it's nice having a GOAT on the same page.

Ronaldo should suck it up.

Hes just jealous.

Surely jeering is better than cheering for him?

I don't think most real fans would agree that Raul was better than Di stefano. Most real fans don't consider Raul to be better than Fat Ronaldo or Zidane.

Well, I guess, but the point was that he's infinitely better than Ronaldo.

Pathetic excuse for having shit fans.

Why not consider Raul better than Di Stefano?...I havent watched Di stefano as a player, so how do you compare Raul to Di stefano.

The same way you do with any historical player. Accomplishments and reputation.

Thats the reason why Di Stefano is a icon of Madrid. When it comes to who was better as a player? Then I choose Raul.

di stefano is a crazy old man. he does have a point though.

the fans are always right.

Glad that fans are not alone. everyone in Real Madrid should unit together and stop Ronaldo from thinking he's uncriticizable. he's not bigger than Real Madrid, no one is.

No, the fans are not always right. No one is.

he scored the most goals la liga ever seen last year ffs.
the bernabeu is truely pathetic.
hope youre enjoying it cristiano. after youre 06 world cup disaster we treated you like god.
you reap what you sow

Cyber would you take him to Man U for 30M??

Shit excuse.

The best thing to do would be encourage him. What the hell is booing and jeering going to achieve.
His team-mates should talk to him if they want him to change.

Kinda agreeing here..

Exactly Izzy, that's what I've been trying to say. But you can't talk to a wall and hope it changes color..

smh why people think no one is trying to help/talk to ronaldo about his attitude on the pitch? things are reaching a climax for a reason it because ronaldo is refusing to change his ways no matter what

and what he did in the malaga game to benz was so disrespectful on so many level it was unbelievable, and we all know if anyone else on the team did that = bench, things like that can break team spirit

ron is creating a him against the club situation for no reason than the fact he is ego driven, but he needs to know when to be intelligent on and off the pitch

ronaldo is a brilliant player in his own right and when inform still the second best player in the world and can rival messi from time to time, but if he wants to surpass himself now, he needs to put the team first that all he ever needed to do tbh

I think that people who criticize ronaldo have jumped a wrong bandwagon there.

I personaly think it's sick and wrong talking trash about your star player who's doing so much for the club all because you are not content with one/few of his performance/s.

That is bandwagonism if i ever heard of one. Kinda makes me question what kind of people call themselves madridistas here.

After achieving legendary goal per game ration in 2,5 seasons with us, being the guy that drives the team forward most, taking most of the responsibility on him... and then failing versus Barcelona badly made lots of you talking trash about him.

I'm not questioning your loyalty, I'm questioning your brains. If that's all it takes to turn your back on your player then you should be ashamed.

DiStefano might have said that from the point of what football is today - bussiness. Personally, he doesn't have to agree with that.

IMO, Ronaldo is more than right to be upset.

Some of you say he's selfish. So? That doesn't mean he should be booed, not after what he's done for RM. Mourinho should be booed if he allowed him to act like he's the boss. That is Mou's job, and Bernabeu can be a damn shame sometimes. Think ffs! Are you really doing your club a favour if you're draining morale of one of your on-field players?

I'm not amazed, I'm stunned by some of your posts here. WTF people?! I remember reading stuff against Raul in the old forum, it was pure mockery. Imagine, mocking Raul. I took a stand then as I'm taking a stand now. Some of you should really think and tell me if you think it's fair to give up and turn your back on your player so quickly + elaboration, 'cause I sure as hell ain't getting it.
