Cristiano Ronaldo said that the Korean football player had no right to rush him after the replacement
Portugal striker Cristiano Ronaldo spoke about a skirmish with a South Korean player during the third round match for the World Cup. His words are quoted by O Jogo.
“Before my substitution, one of their players told me to get off the field faster. I advised him to shut up, he has no right, he should not say anything, ”Ronaldo said. He added that he would speed up if the referee asked him to. The forward also noted that he had no disagreements with the opponent, explaining these emotional outbursts by the intensity of the game.
Earlier on December 2, head coach of the Portuguese national football team Fernando Santos said that one of the players of the South Korean team insulted Ronaldo during the match. He added that the Portuguese was angry with the opponent when he left the field. The forward was replaced in the 65th minute of the meeting.
The confrontation ended with the victory of the Koreans with a score of 2: 1, thanks to which the team reached the playoffs of the World Cup from the second place in group H. The Portuguese, who took the first line in the table, secured access to the 1/8 tournament on November 29, after defeating Uruguay.
