Speaking at an event with young people in Erzurum province in the east of the country on Sunday, the Turkish president said that Ronaldo “wasted” in the World Cup.
They wasted Ronaldo. Unfortunately, they put a political ban on him. “Press TV” reports that Erdogan said that sending a player like Ronaldo to the field only 30 minutes before the match broke his psychology and took away his energy.
Ronaldo is an advocate for the Palestinian cause, he hastened to add, comparing the Portuguese international to Argentina’s Lionel Messi.
The star striker was called up as a substitute in Portugal’s 2022 World Cup quarter-final against Morocco and came on in the second half, much to the dismay of Portugal fans.
Ronaldo, who became the first male international to score in five World Cups, was seen leaving the pitch in tears after his side were beaten by Morocco.
He was removed from the main team and appeared in the substitute team in the 1/8 finals of the World Cup against Switzerland.
The former Manchester United and Real Madrid player is known for his support for Palestine.
