Sister reacts brutally to calls for Portugal to drop CR7 from World Cup squad
Cristiano Ronaldo‘s sister, Katia Aveiro, has reacted brutally to calls in some quarters for Portugal to drop her cherished brother from its World Cup selection.
She brandished Portugal fans as “petty, soulless, stupid and forever ungrateful” in a scathing rant towards his critics.
Portuguese publication A Bola called for the 37-year-old to be dropped from Portugal’s starting XI ahead of their Nations League group decider against Spain, using the headline ‘Less Ronaldo, More Portugal’ in their paper.
The report also claimed Ronaldo ‘is losing influence in the selection’, a piece of analysis that came just days after he notched an assist for his country in their 4-0 win against Czech Republic in Prague.
“That’s why when someone appears from the ashes and changes mentalities, it bothers… With you always, my king. Calm down.
“It is necessary to give a hand to those who have always given theirs to Portugal. But the Portuguese are sick, petty, soulless, stupid, ungrateful and forever ungrateful. This guy who’s sitting, he’s on his knees… There’s no one to give him a hand.
“It is cruel. And it was already so much, but so much that he gave and gives. The one sitting is called Cristiano Ronaldo and he is just the best player in the world.”
“At this point, Cristiano should love himself, do himself a favour and understand that, if he cannot reach a level, he must end his career,” Cassano told the Muschio Selvaggio podcast:
“He has won everything, he has been a phenomenon. Now it’s time to retire.
“I have a lot of respect for CR7, but I don’t like him as a player. [Lionel] Messi is like [Diego] Maradona. He had to leave Argentina at the age of 14 and face serious physical problems, which speaks of sacrifices.”
