There was a conflict between the Portuguese and the Englishman.

Former Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand reveals how Cristiano Ronaldo asked him to reconcile with Wayne Rooney.

Recall that in 2006 at the World Cup there was a conflict between the players. England played against Portugal and Rooney got a red card for stepping on Ricardo Carvalho's foot.

Ronaldo asked the referee to give Rooney a red card, and Wayne, in disbelief, pushed Cristiano away.

" We were heading to the bus and Cristiano caught me. He asked me to call Wayne to talk to him, to tell him that he didn't plan anything like that..

As he stated, there was no hostility or malice in his behavior. Rooney was his friend.

I came to Rooney and told him that Ronaldo wants to talk. Took him off the bus and brought him to Ronaldo. I don’t know if I finished this story or they themselves, but I brought them together, ”Ferdinand said in an interview with the Daily Mail..
