The madness of Cristiano Ronaldo

Cristiano Ronaldo, whose performance was criticized at the 2022 World Cup, started his game with the national team in a major tournament on the bench for the first time in 14 years.

Ronaldo, who entered the game in the 73rd minute of the round of 16 match against Switzerland, received intense interest from members of the press and fans before the game. Dozens of photojournalists, who wanted to take a photo of Ronaldo while the national anthems were playing, created a stampede in the booth of the Portuguese National Team.

As fans in the stands chanted “Ronaldo” before and during the match, Portugal coach Fernando Santos pushed for the soccer star to enter the game in the second half.

Responding to the fans’ “Ronaldo” cheers with a smile, it was reflected in the lenses that Ronaldo was unhappy because he was saved.

Unable to play effectively after entering the game, Ronaldo greeted the screaming fans at the end of the game and went to the locker room without celebrating the joy of the quarterfinals.
