Pizarro blasts 'arrogant' Cristiano Ronaldo

AS Roma's David Pizarro

      Roma midfielder David Pizarro rates Cristiano Ronaldo as a great player but reckons the Manchester United winger has a lot to learn regarding sportsmanship.

      Pizarro accused Ronaldo of showing arrogance and a lack of respect towards his opponents in United´s 2-0 Champions League quarter-final first-leg win in the Eternal City on Tuesday night.

      "Despite the fact that he is a great champion, he is very arrogant," said Pizarro. "He does certain spiteful things on the pitch. This is the ugliest thing for a player. In the return leg, I will have something to say to him."
