Frustration and anger are human tendencies. Just like others, Ronaldo also exhibits similar traits. Recently, his temper issue was highlighted by his former Madrid teammate, Bale. The Welsh star, who is now spending his time playing golf, was asked about the CR7’s nature in general.
Surprisingly, Bale revealed some eyebrow-raising things. The 33-year-old said, “He was actually okay. He had like…had his moments where like for example, if we win five nil and he didn’t score. He comes in throws his boots like he’s angry.” The former Tottenham man was quite vocal about his former striking partner’s anger issues.

He continued by stating a Ryder Cup reference. “It’s like your team winning in the Ryder Cup but you didn’t get a point so you are angry.” However, he then started highlighting the good qualities of the Portuguese star. “But like he was a nice guy. Like nothing wrong. We didn’t really have any problems,” he added.

The person who was asked the question also agreed with Bale’s response by praising his “good mentality,” to which, he added, “A lot of people could be scared of like how he is. Yeah, but if you don’t, then it’s fine.” Following this, the person again asked Bale if Ronaldo congratulated his teammates after winning the Ballon d’Or. Interestingly, Bale responded with a pause and said, “I think he did but…yes he did.”
The former Wales star had to take pause from spilling more beans as he saw the camera coming near him. Ultimately, he was forced to shut his mouth as he laughed while pointing at the camera. Nevertheless, this was quite the unheard side of the Al Nassr man, which his former striking partner mentioned.
