How important is it to be friends with your co-workers? Not at all, according to Real Madrid superstar Cristiano Ronaldo. When a reporter asked him why - unlike rival players at Barcelona - he wasn't very close to his team mates off the pitch, he simply said he isn't interested in "little meals, hugs and kisses" with fellow players.

Was she surprised by his latest comments?
