"Ronaldo the outcast" .. the majority of the Portuguese do not want him to be essential
The troubles of the Portuguese soccer star, Cristiano Ronaldo, continue day after day. After he became without a club in Europe, the "Don" is no longer popular among the Portugal fans themselves, because they see him as a "burden", hoping that he will be left on the bench. facing the next World Cup.
According to the Portuguese newspaper "A Bola", an opinion poll revealed that 70 percent of the Portuguese support leaving Ronaldo on the bench during the World Cup matches, because they believe that he does not offer anything great to the European country's national team in the World Cup in Qatar.
The respondents expressed their hope that Ronaldo would not be included in the match that will bring together the Portuguese national team with its Swiss counterpart, next Tuesday, in the framework of the eighth round of the World Cup. Portugal fans believe that "Don" did not provide what was hoped for, because he only scored once in the tournament via a penalty kick, even if the goal helped him achieve a record in his football career, becoming the first player to score in five copies of the World Cup. .
Ronaldo's popularity declined, while some reports spoke of his strained relationship with a number of Portugal national team players, because he behaves in a manner described as "selfish", so he is keen to be the focus of attention, by virtue of his stardom and credit, while the game requires a "collective spirit".
In addition, Ronaldo no longer enjoys something like immunity in the national team, because Portugal coach Fernando Santos did not hesitate to replace him during three World Cup matches.
Ronaldo sparked controversy during the match in which South Korea beat Portugal, and it was said that Ronaldo uttered obscene phrases towards the coach because of the substitution. But the "Don" denied this, and said that his comments were rather towards a player in the Asian national team who spoke to him in a way he described as provocative.
