Spanish national team and Barcelona striker Pedro supports Real Madrid leader Cristiano Ronaldo in an indirect battle against FIFA president Sepp Blatter.

A few weeks ago, the Swiss man spoke disrespectfully about the Portuguese national team player, mockingly calling him a general on the field.

"I did not like Blatter's behavior, he should act more respectfully.

I understand that everyone has their own opinion, which is also important, but in this case the president acted inappropriately," the striker commented.

The player also commented on the elections of the best footballers, where the favorites are named F.Ribery, Z.Ibrahimovic, L.Messi and C.Ronaldo.

"Of course, I hope L.Messi triumphs again in the Ballon d'Or awards, because he is my teammate and currently the best in the world," concluded Pedro.
