These days and weeks, Cristiano Ronaldo is more in the spotlight for the problems he causes off the pitch than for the games on it. And he continues in the same style.
After the seasoned footballer got angry with coach Fernando Santos over his substitution against South Korea, he has now made another outburst.
It was in vain that Ronaldo was publicly criticized by Santos. Even the fact that the coach of Portugal left him on the bench to start the match against Switzerland did not send a clear enough message to the former player of Real Madrid, Juventus and Manchester United.
Namely, Ronaldo has now refused to train with the reserves at Portugal training after the duel with Switzerland!
Ronaldo did not want to train with other teammates on the field but insisted on being in a group with the first team players from the duel with Switzerland who had a lighter intensity of training and worked only in the gym.
According to the Spanish and Portuguese media, Ronaldo’s teammates were shocked that he ignored the already established rhythm of training and started working on his own accord!
Let us remind you that immediately after the match with Switzerland, Cristiano immediately went to the dressing room without celebrating with his teammates on the field the placement in the quarterfinals of the competition.
The 38-year-old footballer was unhappy with the fact that he only got 20 minutes in the match against Switzerland, which again attracted the attention of the media. Just like this new incident.
Coach Santos is pulling his hair out, as he no longer knows how to control Portugal’s first star. True, a star in great decline…
