It all started in the 65th minute of the final Group H match of the Qatar World Cup, when Cristiano Ronaldo of Portugal glared at his South Korean counterpart, Cho Kyu-sung, as he made a 1-1 substitution for Andre Silva. The great number seven then put his finger to his mouth in a “shut up” gesture.
The stadium was abuzz at the sight of the rare superstar’s behavior.
Ronaldo: “O que aconteceu foi que, antes da minha saída, o jogador da Coreia disse-me para sair rápido. Mandei-o calar. Ele não tem autoridade, não tem de opinar, acelerava o passo se fosse o árbitro. Mas não tem de haver polémica, as coisas ficam dentro de campo.” pic.twitter.com/XERlwnx08J

Perhaps he was frustrated with himself because he had not played as well as he would have liked in the first half. But according to Portuguese newspaper A Bola, Cristiano Ronaldo was “very frustrated” after returning to the bench, even being chastised by his fellow players.
What happened? The Portuguese newspaper “Record” reported that Cristiano Ronaldo was so “irritated” that he even went back to the bench and was chastised by his fellow teammates. The Portuguese newspaper “Record” reported what he had to say.
I’ll tell you what happened. Just before I was substituted. The Korean player said, ‘Get out of here! I said, ‘Shut up. I said, ‘Shut up, that’s none of your business. The referee would decide if I was in a hurry to get back to the bench or if I needed to speed things up, so there was no need for him to tell me what to do.
In the end, the team also lost to South Korea with a dramatic comeback goal in the 95th minute. The result also caused a ripple effect that was not small in comparison to what C. Ronaldo said and did. However, the Portuguese great said, “I have a big dispute with him,” he added.
There is no need to make a big controversy with him. It was just something that got heated during the match. Whatever happened, things on the pitch should always be resolved there. And what we need more than anything right now is unity.”
C. Ronaldo called for team unity as the team prepares for the final tournament. Will the world’s leading scorer be able to turn his accumulated frustration into power? It will be interesting to see what he can do in the final tournament.
