The ex-Real Madrid star says the Argentine is a "great coach" but does not
like the message he gives his players, adding he believes he will end up at
Inter in the future.
Former Real Madrid striker Ronaldo has hailed Diego Simeone as a "great
coach", but admitted he is not a fan of the Atletico Madrid boss' tactics.
Simeone is preparing to lead Atletico into their second Champions League
final in three seasons, with city rivals Real Madrid standing in their way of a
maiden title in Milan on Saturday.
The Argentine has become one of the world's most sought after coaches
since helping Atletico to La Liga glory in 2014, the club's first top-flight
crown in 18 years.
But ex-Brazil international and three-time World Player of the Year Ronaldo,
who played alongside Simeone at Inter, is not completely impressed with
the 46-year-old and his brand of football.
"I am in love with football that is played well," Ronaldo told La Gazzetta
dello Sport.
"Simeone has an Argentinian temper and transmits that to his players.
Things that I do not like, but he is a great coach.
"His team plays well, they are tight and compact. They have their own style
and are difficult to deal with."
Simeone has talked up a return to Inter in the future, having won the UEFA
Cup there in 1997-98.
Asked about Simeone going back to Milan, Ronaldo added: "I think that
sooner or later he will go back.
"I have said that many times because he is very close with the club."
