Real Madrid star Ronaldo: Everybody hates me. I don't care!
Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo is proud of his vanity!
The former Manchester United winger, who scored twice in Madrid's 3-1 win over Real Sociedad on Wednesday, insists he does not care too much for the opinion of others.
"There are people who hate me, who say I'm vain, or arrogant, or this or that... that's part of my success," Ronaldo said in an interview with Papel.
"I was born to be the best. That's the way I am, and if all my achievements in football are down to that, then I wouldn't change a thing.
"I go to bed every night with a clear conscience and sleep perfectly well.
"You can't live obsessing about what other people think about you, if you did, you wouldn't live. Not even God can please everyone."
Ronaldo has been linked with a move back to United before his career finishes but the Portuguese has grand plans for his years in retirement.
"I want to live like a king," he added. "I'm going to enjoy it all even more when I finish my career, when I have the time to do whatever I want".
