Antonio Cassano has launched more stinging criticism towards Cristiano Ronaldo - after revealing the Manchester United great has 'texted him' demanding answers.
It's not the first time the ex-Italy forward has taken aim at the five-time Ballon d'Or winner.
Speaking about the 36-year-old previously, Cassano argued there is only one Ronaldo - the former Brazil sensation - and that Lionel Messi is better than the United superstar.
He also suggested that Ronaldo is not one of the five greatest players in history.
Reviving those scathing comments, Cassano has also claimed that Ronaldo sent four long messages to him stating that he ought to show respect for his monumental achievements.
Ronaldo has picked up five Champions League medals and was a Premier League winner on three occasions during his first memorable spell at Old Trafford.
However, it seems even that's not enough to impress Cassano.
Speaking during his guest appearance on Christian Vieri's Twitch channel Bobo TV, he said: "The other day I saw a text from a Spanish number. Four long texts. Let's see if he [Ronaldo] confirms it because I also forwarded them to Gigi [Buffon], who told me he had given my number to Cristiano.
"He told me I had to respect him, respect the goals he had scored, what he had won and what he represents.
"I fear nobody and I replied to him writing that I had said the truth; there is only one Ronaldo and [Lionel] Messi is better than him. He [Ronaldo] continued saying that he has money, he scored many more goals in his career, while I had only scored 150."
Cassano added: "Cristiano has everything in life. He should take it easy and be relaxed rather than see what people say about him. He should be like Messi and be more relaxed.
What do you make of Cassano's claim? Have your say in the comments section below.
"This is the truth, I called Buffon and told him too, I told Giorgio Chiellini as well.
"I've never disrespected him, as a man or footballer. I don't like him and there are 50 players I like more than him, so what?"
