Watford defender Samir says he psyched Manchester United superstar Cristiano Ronaldo out by bringing up the past.
The Hornets' January signing marked Ronaldo on Saturday at Old Trafford and kept him quiet as he led Roy Hodgson's strugglers to a goalless draw.

Samir told Globo: "I had already faced Cristiano Ronaldo four or five times in Italy, so I already knew him more or less.
"Yesterday [Saturday] I had the opportunity to see him on the field again, and I had a chat with him: 'I'll have to tag you again, right? I'd tag you in Italy, I'll have to tag you here'.
"And I was assigned to mark him in the area, in the corners. So I had this little dialogue with him."
