In an interview with TNT Sports Brasil, Pepe, captain of FC Porto, revealed in detail the dialogue he had with Cristiano Ronaldo during the game with Juventus, in Turin, concerning the second leg of the round of 16 of the Champions League.
«I opened it (points to his brow) and he said: ‘Pepe, it is dangerous; in the head is dangerous’. He was with me at Real Madrid and [Iker] Casillas put me in a ‘coma’ twice. Now I talk about playing, but it’s scary. On one occasion Cristiano went to visit me at the hospital, because he saw that the situation was serious », said the Portuguese international.
Returning to the conversation in Turin, Pepe reported: «He told me that beating the head is dangerous. I left the side and he said: ‘You are going to play because I want to win with you on the field’. I replied: ‘Okay, you will win with me on the field, but I will be the one to pass the tie’. »
However, the central of the blues and whites noted, “whoever recorded only put Cristiano talking.”
«I had to answer, only my answer did not come out. I am waiting for you to leave », finished, between smiles.
