The European Championship is still ongoing, arousing great emotions among fans. On July 1, 2024, representatives of Portugal and Slovenia faced each other on the pitch, but not everything went according to expectations. There was particular talk about the unsuccessful shot by the captain of the first team Cristiano Ronaldo during a penalty kick, because it was saved by the opponents’ goalkeeper Jan Oblak. The 39-year-old’s reaction did not take long.
Football – Euro 2024. Portugal tied with Slovenia. Ronaldo did not hide his despair
It is well known that sport is a huge passion for Ronaldo and he always reacts emotionally to every success, but also to failure. This time he also did not hide his disappointment at not scoring a goal, bursting into tears, especially since the Portuguese victory was just a step away. This did not escape the watchful attention of the media and viewers sitting in front of their televisions.
Since Monday’s match, both fans and athletes have been assessing whether his attitude was right or excessive and “to please the public”. Although his teammates immediately showed him support, there was no shortage of bitter words against him on the internet. Among those who considered the Portuguese captain’s behavior inappropriate was Sylwia Dekiert from TVP Sport.
TVP Sport journalist bitterly criticizes Ronaldo’s attitude. The footballer’s fans couldn’t forgive her for these words
While discussing the match in the studio, the Sport presenter attempted a pointed comment on Ronaldo’s emotional reaction as the team leader. “Ronaldo’s behavior after the missed penalty was unprofessional,” she briefly assessed on air. These words were enough for fans to raise their voices. A real scandal erupted on the web almost immediately.
Dekiert’s comment was quickly picked up by internet users, who considered her behavior inappropriate. Many emphasized that in this way she demonstrated not only a lack of respect and professionalism, but also ignorance. There were even daredevils on TVP Sport’s social media, appealing to the station to fire her from her position.
I hope the lady at the studio will thank you
Please consider changing the commentator. Accusing a footballer who lives for his job of being unprofessional because he showed emotion and shed tears is ridiculous
Ms. Sylwia Dekiert, who runs the studio at TVP Sport, should reconsider her shameful words (…). It was a hugely sexist and inappropriate remark on TV
– wrote outraged viewers under the entry on the official TVP Sport Facebook profile. Dekiert clearly did not care about these unfavorable comments, because she has not spoken out on the matter so far. If you’d like, please vote in our poll below.
