Former Portugal international Costinha has claimed that only a jealous person won't like his ex-teammate at the national team Cristiano Ronaldo considering his progress in football.

He played with Ronaldo in the Portuguese national team for the Euro 2004 and the 2006 World Cup.

"He benefited a lot from Sir Alex Ferguson at Manchester United, and that team made him more aggressive.

''It taught him when to dribble and when to pass the ball. Still, his belief was so strong that he would rise up the ranks.

"It isn't possible not to love Ronaldo unless you are jealous. He is humble and I am happy for the success he had today. I saw him work to become the best and I am Portuguese, so he makes me proud,'' Costinha explained.
