Luka Modric shared an unheard story in his biographical book, where the main characters were Jose Mourinho and Cristiano Ronaldo. Modric, signed by Mourinho in 2012, emphasized that the relationship between C. Ronaldo and J. Mourinho was far from warm. The Croatian recalled an incident when the conflict between the two Portuguese almost escalated into a fight. "I remember an incident when we were playing the King's Cup match. We were leading 2-0, so I was surprised by Mourinho's reaction to the events on the field," Modric quoted in the book "My Game." "In one episode, Ronaldo did not run after the opponent, and Jose got very angry with him. They both were angry throughout the first half. Finally, when we returned to the locker room, I saw that Ronaldo looked overwhelmed, as if he was about to cry. He then said: I do my best, but he (Jose) still criticizes me. Jose then came into the locker room and immediately started criticizing Ronaldo for not fulfilling his duties on the field. The conversation became so tense that only the intervention of other players prevented them from actual fighting," the "Real" veteran said. J. Mourinho and C. Ronaldo worked together for three years. As it was claimed in 2013, their relationship in the last season was very complicated.
