Portugal superstar Cristiano Ronaldo remained coy about his future with Real Madrid, refusing to take questions beyond the Confederations Cup and coach Fernando Santos backed his player for refusing to take questions on his future. "Do you think he should answer questions from issues outside the game?" Santos said.

"He is here to talk about the game, not about his life. I understand you are curious, but you have to respect - and I'm saying this with a good feeling. You will have other opportunities," Santos added.
