Javier “Chicharito” Hernandez, a former player for both Real Madrid and Manchester United, has publicly defended Cristiano Ronaldo, arguing that the Portuguese star should not be characterized as arrogant. Speaking about his former teammate with whom he shared a locker room at Manchester United, Hernandez offered praise regarding Ronaldo’s character, professionalism, and winning mindset. Hernandez emphasized that what is often perceived as arrogance is frequently a misinterpretation of Ronaldo’s genuine self-confidence.
“I never thought Cristiano was arrogant. He is an extraordinary, very human, and very modest person,” Chicharito stated. He further elaborated on Ronaldo’s character, noting that the star “has always gone against the current and was ready to fight for those who were weaker.”
The former Mexican international added that Ronaldo possesses the right to express himself.
His comments suggest a deep professional respect for his former colleague. Hernandez’s defense focuses on framing Ronaldo’s outward demeanor as a byproduct of his inherent drive and positive qualities, rather than any genuine flaw in character. The discussion highlights the continued bond between the two former teammates despite differing public perceptions of Ronaldo’s personality.
