Casillas defends Cristiano Ronaldo after Saturday's shaky performance

It is bound to be this way when you are the best player in the world, decorated with all awards that the Football World has to offer. The pressure from fans, teammates, and yourself sometimes is a difficult thing to manage.

Ronaldo was dispossessed a few times and missed some passes but instead of patience from the Madrid fans, they booed and whistled at him.

Former teammate Iker Casillas has come out to defend Cristiano Ronaldo...

Casillas has tried to air his opinions and pass a crucial message to the Real Madrid fans that Ronaldo should be praised not humiliated seeing his contribution to the club so far.

He said, "If he scores two or three goals a game, that is just what he is supposed to do. It is madness. You must help him -- have people around him and the club who help to protect the players. He must continue trying to be the player he is, the best in the world."

Hull City Manager chides Tottenham's Jan Vertonghen following Spurs' 2-1 win

Following Spurs' 2-1 win over Hull City, City manager Steve Bruce lashed out at Tottenham's Jan Vertonghen for exaggerating to get Hull City's Ramirez Gaston red-carded. Bruce castigated such act as unhealthy for the Premier League. The Uruguayan midfielder Ramirez got the red card for kicking at Belgian Jan Vertonghen. Bruce argued his man only showed "petulance" when he was provoked by Jan. And such behaviour could not be regarded as "violent". The City went down when Tottenham's Harry Kane and Christian Eriksen found the net in the game's second half. Speaking with his news conference, Bruce said, "Ramirez has shown petulance. Vertonghen has had a little go at him, and Ramirez has flicked out. The law says it is a violent conduct. For me, it is an act of petulance -- it is not violent conduct." Via espn
