"I'm not surprised at all because he has got fantastic courage and belief in himself.
"They all started booing. [Charlton match]
"I saw one guy sitting 10 yards in front of me and he never watched the game because he was up so many times screaming, shouting and bawling at Cristiano. He must have had a bad Portuguese meal at one time. But it ended exactly how I thought it would end. They get fed up booing, their throats get sore and they go home."
Ronaldo speaking before yesterday's game:
"I have been through one away game now in the Premiership and I had to concentrate hard on the match.
"The moment the whistling started I tried to convince myself that it was nothing to do with me. I tried to think just about the game.
"Of course I heard it all, I'm not deaf. I just blocked my ears and concentrated on the game."
