Antonio Cassano can boast of having had a great career. The Italian international striker has worked with Real Madrid, Inter and AC Milan, among others.
Now 39 years old, he has put away the crampons and now plays a consultant role. Retired since 2017, Cassano has appeared on Bovo TV, the Twitch program of his ex-teammate Christian Vieri.
It is during one of his visits that Cassano will deliver a surprising anecdote. While Cristiano Ronaldo was still a Juventus player, Cassano makes a somewhat flattering comparison between Brazilian Ronaldo and the Portuguese star. According to the ex-player of the Nazionale, Ronaldo would then have obtained his phone number to contact him directly on WhatsApp. “I asked Gigi (Buffon) how he got my number, he confirmed to me that he had given it to the press officer who forwarded it to Cristiano“, says the former player.
“Cristiano wrote to me on WhastApp asking for more respect for everything he’s won and all the goals he’s scored. He told me he scored 750 goals and I scored 150“Very calmly, the former international responded by tackling the five-time Ballon d’Or.”Dear Cristiano, I tell you one thing: you have everything, so be more calm and relaxed. Take the example of Messi who doesn’t care what people think of him.”
The story does not say if Ronaldo responded to him after that.
