CRISTIANO RONALDO left an adoring player shocked by his attitude and treated him with “contempt”.
The former Real Madrid and Manchester United superstar left Old Trafford to join Saudi side Al-Nassr earlier this year.

But his hopes of winning the King Cup of Champions came to a crashing end this week with a 1-0 semi-final defeat against ten-man Al-Wehda.
Jean-David Beauguel proved the match-winner with his incredible overhead kick goal midway through the first half.
But the French forward came away disappointed after his memorable moment against his idol Ronaldo.
The two forwards had a brief exchange at full-time, but Beauguel’s big moment did not live up to his expectations with the five-time Ballon d’Or winner in a sulk.
The 31-year-old said: “I was surprised by his attitude. I was disappointed.
“I told him I was his fan and I asked him for his shirt and he shook my hand without looking me in the eye and with a very contemptuous air.
“Even during the match he was upset and yelled at his team-mates.”
Beauguel, though, did admit he could appreciate why Ronaldo was not best pleased after missing out on a place in the final as he furiously berated the Al-Nassr bench.

He added: “Cristiano is a great competitor and I understand that he was disappointed by the loss.
“Beyond the economic aspect, which I’m sure is positive, I think his arrival is great for Saudi football, it will perhaps push other great players to come here.”
It is not the first time a grumpy Ronaldo has refused to swap shirts with opposition players delighted to take to the field against their hero.
Beauguel’s comments come just days after Paulo Dybala lifted the lid on his relationship with Ronaldo, with the Argentine even telling his then-Juventus team-mate he “hated” him.
Dybala told DAZN: “I spent three nice years with Cristiano, the team was very strong and he added something more.
“There’s a big rivalry between [Lionel] Messi and Ronaldo in Argentina.
“Once, we were flying out for a game, I was sitting at the back of the plane and he was slightly ahead.
“At some point, he came to me, we spoke about life in general for a while, and I told him: ‘As a kid, I practically hated you.’
“We laughed about it and we’ve always been on good terms.”
