Retired Dutch football star, Ruud van Nistelrooy, has dismissed claims by
Fabio Capello’s claims that he had said the Real Madrid dressing room smelled of alcohol.
Ruud made the denial in tweets sighted by African Entertainment.
The former Manchester United’s player had a spell at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu during the same period as Ronaldo Nazario.
Capello had admitted that Ronaldo Nazario had caused him plenty of problems during his tenure as coach.

Capello informed Sky Sport that “The greatest talent I ever coached was Ronaldo.”
He said “But at the same time he was the player who created the most problems for me in the dressing room.”
“He used to throw parties and do everything.”
“Once, Van Nistelrooy said to me: ‘Coach, the dressing room smells like alcohol,” according to Capello.
But Ruud in his tweets, denied the claims.
He tweeted that “In light of some declarations that were made by Fabio Capello, claiming that I once said that the Real Madrid dressing room “smelled like alcohol”, I want to completely deny such comments.”
A tenor de unas declaraciones que se le atribuyen a Fabio Capello, señalando que yo, en su día, le comenté que el vestuario del @realmadrid "olía a alcohol" quiero desmentir rotundamente tales afirmaciones.

“[Everyone] in that dressing room showed maximum professionalism from the first day.”
“Each and every one of us worked and defended the club’s badge in an integral and professional way.”
Desde el primer hasta el último compañero trabajamos y defendimos el escudo del club de una forma íntegra y profesional.
