“I was happy to be in the locker room at that time and saw the pictures. It’s funny, because sometimes it can be subject to interpretation. It was a joke between them because Bruno was curiously one of the last to arrive (on campus) and Cristiano asked him if he had come by boat,” he said at a press conference.
“I can understand that the images may be subject to interpretation but that was what it happened (…) it was a joke and I am convinced that they have a very good relationship because they play together and because I saw them before and saw them again. All yesterday a little bit of what happened was seen but there is no problem between them”, he ratified.
