First, in the ‘flash’ interview, I didn’t hear anything. Later, I have seen it on television and I have not liked it at all. The problems are solved internally, it’s done, everyone is focused and available for the game this Tuesday. I give eleven in the stadium. It is always so. It is a closed issue and all are available.
During his substitution in Friday’s game, one of the Korean players urged CR7 to leave the field promptlyto which the star, formerly of Manchester UtdHe didn’t react in the best way.
The Korean player told me to leave quickly and I told him to shut up because he is not an authority […] There doesn’t have to be controversy. It’s the heat of the game. Whatever happens, things always remain on the court. The most important thing is that we have to be united.
Ronaldo left the field furious and as he left he was heard to say “You must be in a hurry for me to leave”an attitude that together with the rest of his statements did not seem professional at all for the 68-year-old strategist Santos.
