Cristiano Ronaldo to James Rodríguez before the second half:
“Tell your teammates to take it easy on us. The intensity is beyond us. They’re even shrugging me to the floor when I don’t have the ball.” 😭😭
@Joshua__Ubeku You can't teach logics to an illiterate person. Once they hold to something, that's it.
Sometimes, I feel their heads are rigged like the so-called rigged World Cup .
🗣️ Gerard Pique on Cristiano Ronaldo downplaying the importance of the World Cup:
“Wait… I’m confused. Didn’t Cristiano once say the World Cup is only a seven-game tournament? If that’s the case, why celebrate every World Cup goal like it’s the biggest moment of your career?
Football doesn’t work that way. When something truly means nothing to you, you don’t react with that much emotion. You don’t scream to the crowd, point to your name and celebrate as if a huge burden has disappeared.
The truth is every great player wants to win the World Cup. There is nothing wrong with admitting that. But you cannot tell people it is not important and then act differently when you score.
Your actions will always speak louder than your words.”
