Cristiano Ronaldo has kicked out at players a couple of times so far this season, he has come out and said that not reacting to kicking is tricky.
I can understand why it is hard, if someone was constantly fouling me then I would want to kick out at them but that isn't the way it works.

"I am a target of course so it is difficult to avoid certain things," Ronaldo is quoted as saying in The Sun.

"I try to control my anger. Sometimes it’s not easy, though, and it is something I have to improve on.

"Sometimes it is difficult because of the atmosphere in the stadium and the importance of the game. I’m only 24 but I have a lot of experience of big games and that helps because you learn through situations.

"If someone kicks me, I get up and I go again. I am not afraid of being kicked it is part of the game. I see it as a challenge that they have to kick me to stop me."

What Ronaldo and every other Premier League footballer has to remember is that there are cameras everywhere, anything they do will be picked up and broadcast around the world.
