Fabio Capello, one of the esteemed European football coaches, revealed in an interview to Sky Sports Italy, new details from his period in Real Madrid during the 2006/7 season and most of the former pioneer Ronaldo. 

The 30-year-old Brazilian phenom didn't get along with the Italian coach and only six months later found himself in San Siro in Milan uniform in January 2007, but that didn't stop Capello from declaring it to be "the greatest talent I've ever coached."

But with all due respect, other things interfered with the Italian: "He was the most talented player on the team, but also the one that caused most of the problems for me and the club in the locker room. He used to have parties all the time and do whatever he could. Van Nistelroy said, "Coach, the locker room smells of alcohol."

"Then Ronaldo left for Milan, and we started winning, but if we're talking about talent alone, it's the most talented player of all, no doubt," Capello explained.
