We need Real Madrid fans to support us – Ronaldo
Cristiano Ronaldo has pleaded for Real Madrid supporters to stick together following the latest expression of dissent shown towards Jose Mourinho from the Santiago Bernabeu faithful, Goal.com reported.
The coach's name was heckled when it was announced prior to the Blancos' 4-0, Copa del Rey victory over Celta Vigo, with fans particularly unhappy with Iker Casillas' recent exclusion from the side and their poor Liga form.
While Mourinho was absent at the post-match press conference, Ronaldo - who struck a hat trick in a superb individual display - called on fans to aid the team's pursuit of trophies by displaying their support in a positive manner.
"We must stand united and we need the fans to support us, there is still a lot to win," he told reporters.
