In the middle of the World Cup, Cristiano Ronaldo was on the verge of letting go of his selection. This, after a tension with his coach.
Portugal was very close to offering the biggest scandal of this World Cup because of Cristiano Ronaldo. This Thursday, Disk, a Portuguese media outlet, announced that CR7 almost dropped out of the selection after a heated explanation with its coach, Fernando Santos. This all started during the match against South Korea where CR7 was substituted.
Indeed, after his exit during the match against South Korea, Cristiano Ronaldo had behavior that Fernando Santos did not appreciate. The two actors would also have had muscle exchanges. After this tension, the five-time Ballon d’Or winner wanted to pack up and leave Qatar. But once tensions subsided, he continued the adventure with his family, even if he started from the bench against Switzerland. Small free kick from Santos?
