The trip from Madrid to China received enormous attention from the locals and the press, but many were disappointed by the behavior of the brightest team stars Cristiano Ronaldo.
Chinese journalists unanimously called the Portuguese "arrogant" after the press conference.
"Real" visited one of the fastest growing economies on the planet with the aim of promoting the club's name. In addition to deciding to closely cooperate with the local "Guangzhou Evergrande" team, a new football academy was also opened, where 10,000 children will train with the help of specialists from Spain.
However, C.Ronaldo overshadowed the cheerful atmosphere. When asked how he felt about his teammate Kaka being plagued by injuries, the footballer replied: "Excellent."
The press representatives did not lose their wit and inquired whether he had to change his recently born son's diapers. The answer this time was laconic and accompanied by a sly glance from C.Ronaldo: "Yes, I am a father, so changing diapers is normal."
Impressions of the city of Guangzhou also did not receive much attention from the forward: he only mentioned that it was very hot there. When asked if he would ever return to play in England, he retorted: "Maybe. Why not?"
Outraged comments from Chinese people flooded the internet. One of them urged the footballer to find a public relations specialist, while another suggested he should go home as soon as possible.
"The questions weren't very related to football, but it is necessary to understand that here people are more concerned about what's happening outside the field than in Europe," said local journalist Yan Qiang. "He appeared arrogant and selfish. This certainly will not help create a positive image of him in our country."
