Portuguese star forward Cristiano Ronaldo wanted to leave the 2022 FIFA World Cup after learning he would not start for his national team for their round of 16 match against Switzerland.
After learning that the coach of the team, Fernando Santos, made up his mind do not release him from the first minutes, Ronaldo was clearly angry.
Cristiano was reportedly very close to packing and leave the headquarters of the Portuguese national team. However, after some time the player calmed down, realizing that he could still play an important role for this team.
The Portuguese national team doesn’t want to pay much attention to this situation. Ronaldo came on as a substitute in the 73rd minute of play. He didn’t score well in this match.
Note that after the game, Ronaldo’s sister asked him to leave Mundial.
