This video is a World Cup game against Uruguay by the way.
Ronaldo made the Portuguese federation file a complaint to FIFA, to award the goal to him, and that he touched the ball with his head. The complaint didn’t even progress because of a sensor on the ball.
I have never seen anything like this before. Mind you, this goal was awarded to his TEAM MATE, Bruno Fernandes. A team goal.
Now, you want same team mate (s) he wants to carry him, how can they carry him when he’s always trying to take their spotlight if they even get any.
Cristiano tried to claim the goal on the pitch, but didn’t work. After the game, he kept complaining just like you see in this video, it didn’t work. He then made the federation ask for a review from FIFA,they were ready to present video evidence (I wonder what evidence). It still didn’t work.
It was an adidas ball and they had a chip inside, FIFA and Adidas stood on business. This is technology, you did not touch the ball Ronaldo.
Guess why he needed that goal so bad? He wanted to equal Eusebio’s 9-goal record for Portugal in World Cup history. Eusebio scored all 9 goals in one World Cup. Ronaldo is on his 6th World Cup and has 8 goals. So he is chasing that record with everything. That’s not even the point.
My point is that, you don’t demand respect, you earn it. His attitude to always take the spotlight from everyone is what you see today, he would go the extreme even to steal his team mate’s goal just because of PERSONAL AMBITIONS.
His team mate will score, he will be unhappy because it wasn’t him. It just always be him.
Personal ambition has brought Ronaldo to the level he is, but the downside is that, the extremism of it can make your team mates see themselves as less, and you need them, because it’s a team game.
The Argentines are playing for their careers also, but there’s that extra motivation that they’re playing for Messi, it is not far fetched. A team mate like Otamendi even tattooed Messi on his body, De Paul will die for him, he’s Alvarez’ god, Lautaro owes him everything, Romero would never joke with him, Paredes and Enzo will go to battle with him, Dibu calls him a god, MacAllister said Messi told everyone to stop calling him ginger hair and nobody dared. De Paul said he is accessible and humble.
Messi will put his guys own, he will never say he’s the best, he barely even talks, but still they regard him like mad.
That is a leader you’ll go to battle with, not the one that tries to steal your goal.
People still don’t understand how insane this is from bruno’s perspective, this was his first ever world cup goal and ronaldo was trying so hard to take it from him..
You expect bruno to be loyal and fight for someone like this?? Lol
There is a huge difference, when Higuain was getting abused, what did messi do?
Here is what Higuain himself said:
Gonzalo Higuain: "After the match, everyone in the locker room turned cold toward me and no one spoke.
Only Messi came over to me, hugged me, and said, 'No problem, this is football. We made it to the final and gave it our all.'
Later, the coach at the time told me not to come back to the national team, but once again Messi stepped in and talked to the coach. 'This isn't his fault. In football, we win and lose together. No one is perfect, he said. He changed the coach's decision.
That's how I got called back to the national team. If it weren't for Messi, I'd still be tormented by guilt to this day."
Ronaldo fans are truly the worst. Hating on Portugal‘s arguably best and most clutch player Joao Neves because he said Portugal doesn‘t revolve around a washed 41 year old who has never scored a World Cup KO goal 😂
