The Portugal international received his fair share of criticism following his reaction to Alvaro Arbeloa's goal in the 3-0 win over Almeria on Wednesday, with Ronaldo angrily kicking the ball rather than celebrating with his team-mate.
However, Chicharito feels it is the prolific attacker's hunger for goals that makes him stand out from the rest and sees it as a positive rather than a negative characteristic.
"Is Ronaldo obsessed with scoring? He’s not the best in the world for nothing," the Mexico international told Cadena Ser.
"He doesn’t conform, he always wants more. And without that mentality, you can’t be the best.
"He does not get angry when you do not pass him the ball. Against Almeria I saw two white shirts in the box and it was Arbeloa who got the first touch."
The Manchester United loanee has been in sublime form since replacing the injured Karim Benzema in the starting XI, but he realises he could return to the bench once the Frenchman shakes off his physical problems.
"I don’t pick the starting XI and I can’t choose myself. I understand that because there is a world-class squad at Real Madrid and only 11 can play.
"All you can do is play, or wait. It’s part of football."
Much has been said and written about the 26-year-old's future at Madrid in recent weeks, but he has stressed that he is focussing on his performances on the pitch for now.
"Right now I’m getting to play but I don’t know what will happen tomorrow. Maybe tomorrow it will be announced that I am signing for Madrid or going to another club.
"I’m in the best club in the world and the last thing on my mind is the future; I’m enjoying this moment."
