Despite the fact that he no longer plays for Jose Mourinho, Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo does not want to talk about his former manager in any way.
Rejoining Chelsea this season after spending 3 years at the Bernabeu, Mourinho was recently approached by reporters who wanted to discuss his relationship and feelings toward Ronaldo.

As Goal.com reported, the 50-year-old native of Portugal was not shy about voicing his opinion, even saying that Cristiano Ronaldo is a player that "thinks he knows everything."
I was manager for the first time in the 2000 year but, before that, I was assistant in big clubs and with big managers and coaching the best players in the world.
So I was 30 and I was coaching Ronaldo, not this one, the real one, the Brazilian Ronaldo.
I was coaching Rivaldo, I was coaching Figo, I was coaching Guardiola, I was coaching big players when I was very, very young.
So, at that time, I was not the manager, I was just an assistant but I was feeling that I had, in my hands, some potential and after that I start my career in the year 2000 and after four years I won my first UCL and, after that, everything comes as a consequence.

After scoring a late goal to help his native Portugal earn a 1-1 in their international friendly against Switzerland earlier this week, Ronaldo was asked by reporters how he felt about the harsh comments that came from his former coach.
"I am not going to say anything about that person, it is not worth it," Ronaldo said. "Pardon me, but I am not going to talk about that person."

Ronaldo also recently notched a goal for Real Madrid in a match against Chelsea and obviously ecstatic about recording a tally against his former manager, the 28-year-old played it cool after the match, indicating that all goals give him a great feeling no matter who the opposition is.
"I enjoy scoring against all the teams," Ronaldo said with a tone of confidence.
While the relationship between player and coach certainly isn't perfect, expect the two parties to focus on bigger issues like Chelsea taking aim at the Premier League while Real Madrid hopes to claim a La Liga title.
