Earlier this week in the same interview that saw Sir Alex Ferguson criticize FIFA president, Sepp Blatter, about Blatter’s comments on Cristiano Ronaldo’s situation being compared to that of a slave. 

Sir Alex revealed his theory as to why Real Madrid bought Gabriel Heinze, Sir Alex claimed  “When we sold Gabriel Heinze to Real Madrid we knew it was going to happen, because Ronaldo is very close to Heinze,”
 
“I knew what they were doing. I don’t believe they were interested in Heinze – good player though he is. The endgame was to get Ronaldo.”

“What made it really obscene was that Madrid, as General Franco’s club, had a history of being able to get whatever they wanted, before democracy came to Spain.”

In an attempt to “ignore” Sir Alex, the Spaniard added more fuel to the fire.

“I’m not going to waste any time answering him: I admire his record, but he is getting old,”  Calderon said.

He’s getting old? Look who’s talking!
