World Cup, Ronaldo escapes to the locker room while the team celebrates: rain of criticism

A 6-1 in the round of 16 of a World Cup is not the stuff of every day, yet Ronaldo has chosen not to celebrate, giving credit to those – and it is now an increasingly widespread current – who consider him an individualist.

As can be seen from the frame, while his teammates celebrate the crushing victory over Switzerland in front of the Portuguese fans, CR7 slips alone and briskly into the locker room, chased by a cameraman. A clear reaction to coach Fernando Santos’ decision to exclude him from the starting XI – to then include him with the second half fully underway – even if after a 6-1 draw it is equally clear that the coach’s choices were impeccable.

Obviously, the decision did not escape the universe of social networks and not even after 12 hours did the mass of comments and judgments on the gesture of CR7 fade. The vast majority of users write enraged that the Portuguese ace should never have left the field while his teammates were celebrating. And it’s not just Portuguese fans who are picking on Ronaldo but sportsmen from all over the world who in several languages ​​(especially English) certify their dissent.
