Real Madrid winger Cristiano Ronaldo dedicates win over Sporting to coach Jose Mourinho.
Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo has said that the narrow 1-0 win over Sporting at El Molinon was a tribute to boss Jose Mourinho.
The Portuguese was serving a touchline ban for his comments to the officials in the recent Copa del Rey win over Murcia.
His side looked to be struggling to a goalless draw before Gonzalo Higuain popped up in the closing moments to earn los Blancos the win, and speaking to journalists after the match, CR7 dedicated the points to his coach.
He stated: "We have shown that we can play football in difficult situations, we have quality. The match has been tight, there has been many stoppages, but the coach gave us instructions to go out and secure the victory.
"This victory is for Mourinho. He has not been on the bench, but we knew our orders. The goal came late, but it did eventually come."
Ronaldo also briefly spoke of the tactics of the home side, remarking: "They have kicked us and played anti-football, which is difficult to play against. But our attitude was good."
