Cristiano Ronaldo Is Looking For A Sensation, Kick-off Incident And Unsportsmanlike Actions

JAKARTA - Group F match between Portugal vs Republik Ceska on Wednesday, June 19, 2024, is not just a matter of winning 2-1 Cristiano Ronaldo and colleagues.

The superstar made a sensation in Portugal's first party. First, he was caught already in the territory of the Republic of Ceska when Bruno Fernandes was just about to start his start.

However, Ronaldo's action, who had run several meters inside the opponent's territory, escaped the referee's attention.

Ronaldo looked on par with Republican midfielder Ceska rather than the halfway line as Portugal started.

Some fans even consider Ronaldo's behavior to be fraudulent. However, most of them were simply amazed by his unusual actions.

"This guy is too excited," wrote one fan.

"What did he do? He thought he was at the Olympics," wrote another netizen.

Ronaldo's second sensation has clearly received strong criticism from football lovers.

When celebrating to greet Francisco Conceicao's winning goal in the 92nd minute, Ronaldo was seen hitting the face of the Republican goalkeeper Ceska, Jindrich Stanek, as he wanted to get to his colleagues.

He then also seemed to scream in front of the opposing defender while enjoying the moment.

"There is no need to do that. Not the best performance," said fans condemning Ronaldo's actions.

"It's hard to like a team with disrespect and arrogance like this from its big name," wrote another fan.

"Something you won't see Messi do. No class," said another football lover.

Despite the two sensations Ronaldo made, Bruno Fernandes said about the importance of the 39-year-old and other veterans in the Portugal team.

"We all know the importance of having experienced players, such as Cristiano Ronaldo," said Fernndes.

"In fact, Portugal still has the most experienced Pepe in all tournaments. We know they are very important to us," he said again.
