The Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo, despite the spectacle and goals he has given to football in all these years, is known as an arrogant player.
Recently, he broke his contract with Manchester United, giving an interview and did not spare any criticism of his former team and coach Erik ten Hag, without taking into account what he himself gave on the blue field.
But if the team was at fault at Manchester United, everyone expected his explosion in the World Cup. But, anyway, in three games, he has scored only one goal, thanks to an 11-meter penalty won in a very suspicious way.
In the last group game, Portugal had qualified and coach Fernando Santos fielded the reserve team except for Ronaldo. He played for 65 minutes where he mistakenly assisted the opponent and missed a golden opportunity to score, but he was still not satisfied.
At the time of the substitution in the 65th minute, various European media reported that Ronaldo had an order for coach Fernando Santos.
"You're always in an awful hurry to replace me, be careful with me," media reported Ronaldo as telling the coach before sitting on the bench.

But the Portuguese himself has denied that he had a clash with his coach.
"What happened was before my substitution, the South Korean player told me to leave quickly. I told him to shut up he doesn't have that authority. There was no disagreement with the coach," Ronaldo told Portuguese media.
However, if CR7 has really said those words to the coach, then it is unlikely that the Portuguese star can play in the 1/8 finals in the World Cup, as Fernando Santos is known as an authoritative coach.
