Cristiano Ronaldo doesn't believe it is necessary to be friends with his teammates.
Ronaldo was asked about how close Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Neymar appear to be compared to he, Karim Benzema and Gareth Bale.
"In the Manchester United team that won the Champions League [in 2008], I did not speak with [Paul] Scholes, [Ryan] Giggs and [Rio] Ferdinand, beyond 'hello', but we had a great team," said Ronaldo.
"I do not have to dine with Benzema or invite him to my house. What is important is on the pitch. I do not need little kisses and hugs."
Ronaldo said he is used to being the focus of criticism from the media, but remains happy at Madrid.
"It's normal [that people have doubts about me], or that's how I see it. It's like with a son, you give him everything and when you didn’t give more, they will cry," he added.
"I face it as a normal situation. I wish I can keep playing this bad until the end of the season.
"I feel good and happy, in a club that gives me affection. I always play, I score goals from time to time. I cannot be happier. I'm at the best club in the world."
