Gerrard dubs Ronaldo a 'disgrace'
Gerrard was unhappy at Ronaldo's gamesmanship
Steven Gerrard has branded Manchester United winger Cristiano Ronaldo "a disgrace" for his part in Wayne Rooney's sending-off at the World Cup.
Gerrard was furious when Ronaldo got involved after Rooney appeared to stamp on Portugal defender Ricardo Carvalho.
"Sadly a dark side stains Cristiano Ronaldo's game," writes Gerrard in his autobiography, which is being serialised in the News of the World.
"His part in Wayne Rooney's dismissal was a disgrace."
The Liverpool midfielder, who was appointed vice-captain of England this week, expressed particular dissatisfaction with the wink that Ronaldo appeared to give to his team-mates on the bench after Rooney had been dismissed.
Me and the other players constantly claimed we could win the World Cup - it was stupid
Steven Gerrard
"What really [got to] all the England players was Ronaldo's wink to his bench. It was a wink which said 'job done'. How could he do that to his Manchester United team-mate?
"On the bus after the game Wayne asked me: 'What do you think about the wink?'
"I said: 'Honestly, Wazza, if we were playing Spain and [Liverpool team-mates] Xabi Alonso or Luis Garcia winked at the referee or gave a signal for me to be sent off, I'd never speak to them again.'"
When Argentine referee Horacio Elizondo halted play and then brandished a red card, Gerrard initially thought it was for a Portuguese player.
"Players like Carvalho are damaging football, not Wayne Rooney," writes Gerrard.
"It's coached into them that when an incident like that happens, they go to work on the ref.
"Ronaldo was at the front. But the blame does not just rest with him. Five or six Portuguese players were at it."
Gerrard also believes England's players' cockiness in the World Cup cost them dearly.
"We are not as good as we think we are. England were guilty of over-confidence. Me and the other players constantly claimed we could win the World Cup - it was stupid."
Fernandez said:Ruud has left the club. Whatever he does that does not involve us, I'm not interested. If you want to post what Ruud does at Madrid, scoring goals, getting sent off, then do it in their thread, not ours.
