Doha – Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan said that Portugal superstar Cristiano Ronaldo had to face a political ban in the Qatar World Cup. International media reported that Erdogan also said that Ronaldo was left unused in an important tournament such as the Qatar World Cup. Portugal lost to Morocco in the World Cup quarter-finals by a one-sided goal. Portugal sent Cristiano to play as a substitute in this match.
Cristiano Ronaldo was not included in the starting eleven in the pre-quarter match against Switzerland. Ronaldo, who played in Qatar with the brilliance of being the first male player to score a goal in five different World Cups, returned with tears.
“They wasted Ronaldo. Unfortunately they brought a political ban against Ronaldo. Cristiano Ronaldo is a person who stood with Palestine. “He has not publicly stated his position on the Israel-Palestine issue yet,” Erdogan said at a youth conference in Erzurum, Turkey’s eastern province.
Erdogan also responded that sending a player like Ronaldo to play with only 30 minutes of the game is destroying his confidence and energy. Ronaldo leaves the English Premier League club Manchester United during the World Cup. It is reported that he will join the Saudi Arabian club Al Nasr for a fee of 200 million euros.
