"My understanding with him I'm learning to know him inside and outside the field.
"I'm understanding his movements and how he likes to receive the ball. Slowly I will start to assist him."
Alex Sandro wasn't his only club colleague to comment on the situation. Federico Bernardeschi attempted to comfort Ronaldo by reportedly saying: "You're number one."
