Ronaldo unfazed by taunts
Manchester United attacker Cristiano Ronaldo insists he has no problem with being a terrace target, claiming taunts spur him on.
The United star regularly incurs the wrath of rival supporters, with his on-field antics doing little to endear him to opposing fans.
However, the Portugal international remains unfazed by the abuse and says he would never let it affect his game.
He also claims to be unperturbed by the rough treatment he sometimes receives from uncompromising defenders.
"I like people whistling and booing," Ronaldo told Zoo magazine.
"It's normal for fans to do that. There's nothing I can do and it doesn't matter anyway.
"I have to concentrate on the game, so I don't think about that sort of thing.
"On the pitch I'm a target, but it is difficult to avoid these things. I don't believe that people want to hurt me on purpose.
"In my experience, the game just doesn't happen that way. Truthfully, I've never had any serious problems."
IncredibleFor now, Ronaldo is more concerned with helping United re-write the history books and claim an unprecedented quintuple.
"All the guys have to continue playing like we know we can," he said.
"But no, we can't relax. I know I don't like to. I've a long road ahead of me and I want to be in this position, winning awards and trophies while I can.
"Every game is important because if we win, it improves our confidence. I'm at a club that guarantees trophies and that makes me happy. When we compete for a cup, we know we can win it.
"Last year we did the double of Premier League and UEFA Champions League and this year we have a chance to win five.
"We're doing well in all competitions and it would be incredible if we could win them all. We have to continue working as we have been."
