The Portuguese star's criticism has been pushed aside, says the central defender, who is delighted to be playing again after a foot injury
Real Madrid defender Pepe insists his team have moved on from Cristiano Ronaldo's comments in the wake of their derby loss.
The Portugal superstar held clear-the-air talks with the squad after his comments, which he claimed were misinterpreted following the 1-0 loss to Atletico Madrid last weekend.
Madrid responded with a 3-1 La Liga victory over Levante on Wednesday, with Ronaldo scoring and providing an assist.
Pepe said the squad had tried to put the issue behind them.
"It happened. We talked. We are all together in the same boat," he said.
"What we have to do is work and sweat during every game because many people in Spain and in the world suffer when we lose.
"We need to work with great humility."
