JAKARTA Mesut Ozil is angry with the media and the pundit of football who continues to criticize his former Real Madrid teammate, Cristiano Ronaldo.

Ozil expressed his anger on his Instagram social media account on Twitter. He said the media had only wanted to find click, while the pundit wanted to use Ronaldo's big name to find a stage.

"I really don't understand where negative things came from from the press about Cristiano [Ronaldo]," Ozil started his criticism.

"The media are just trying to get a click, and the pundits who don't have a career anymore just want to get attention with their big names and try to make them look bad," he added.

Bad news regarding Ronaldo's latest made by Portuguese media, Record. This outlet claimed CR7 threatened to leave the Portugal national team squad after being reserved in the match against Switzerland in the round of 16.

They even claimed 37-year-old players were backed up against Switzerland because their gestures did not please coach Seleccao and Quinas Fernando Santos when he was pulled out against South Korea in the last match of Group H.

In addition, Ronaldo also flooded criticism from the pundits following his controversial interview with Piers Morgan. The interview ended in Manchester United's anger which then took steps to terminate the contract for the owner of the five Ballon d'Ors.

"He's going to be 38 years old. So what's surprising that he's not scoring 50 goals in one season? Every football fan out there is definitely happy to see him play world-class football for 20 years," Ozil added.

"I don't think anyone from the new generation will be able to match his record again. He will forever be in his own category. Everyone should respect one of the greatest athletes in sports history," he added.

Ronaldo is currently entering the most difficult period of his career. He has scored only three goals in all competitions with the Red Devils and has only scored one goal for Portugal at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
