The reason for such an outrage from Giggs is said to be Ronaldo's affection for popular soft-drink Coke. Giggs is known for his calm and tender personality. He has always been a cool and composed character in the dressing room, who the youngsters look up to.
What evoked such an extreme reaction from United's all-time apps record holder is unknown. But we can present you a couple of theories which may have tripped him up.
1. Giggs mustn't be a huge fan of Coke (he used to endorse Pepsi) and couldn't stand anyone drinking it, especially in his presence. Although this seems highly unlikely to be the main reason but it is a possibility nonetheless.
2. As we all know, Giggs is a self-proclaimed fan of Portugal's Euro Cup winning captain. So, he must've acted in the protective manner by making the young Portuguese understand the importance of diet in a footballer's life. This seems one of the more believable theories where Giggs has always led by example as far as maintaining his physique and fitness are concerned. There can be endless possibilities and theories pertaining to this saga. But one thing of which we all can be sure of is that Giggs isn't the Mr. Sweet all the time. When rubbed the wrong way, he too knows to rough things up.
