Journalist Manuel Delgado from Portuguese media A Bola wrote an article discussing Cristiano Ronaldo’s recent controversy in the Saudi Super Cup.
Previously, Al-Nassr lost 1-4 to Al-Hilal, failing to lift the Saudi Super Cup. Fans captured footage of Ronaldo appearing dissatisfied with his teammates’ performance, making a ‘sleeping’ gesture, and refusing to accept the silver medal after losing the match, instead leaving the stadium directly.
This incident has sparked much controversy, with journalist Manuel Delgado believing that Ronaldo was inconsequential during the European Cup and exhibited various offensive behaviors in the Saudi Super Cup, which were overlooked or glorified due to his fame.
Delgado stated that although Portugal’s national team coach Roberto Martinez will surely call up Ronaldo for the next international game, he should think twice: “While we are grateful for everything CR7 has done for the national team over the past 21 years, is it reasonable to call him up now from a sporting perspective? Because it has become clear that Ronaldo is not like Modric, who continues to pour his heart out for Real Madrid at this age, as demonstrated by his performance in the European Super Cup.”
Delgado wrote: “Ronaldo’s behavior after the Saudi Super Cup seems to suggest that he believes he is the winner, and such self-centeredness clearly does not serve the interests of the national team.”
