They have some good players but they&#8217;re not the best.

And if my players don&#8217;t do that, as the coach, I have to do that.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Pushed further by Ferdinand on his Ronaldo remarks, Boateng said: &#8216;He was the top scorer and he just kicked him out. He just went against the best player in the team, you don&#8217;t do that.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;You have to give him respect.
