Images of Cristiano Ronaldo are once again going around the world. After a video with Bruno Fernandes in the dressing room of Portugal caused a lot of commotion on Monday, it is now an incident with João Cancelo. The Manchester City defender seems very angry and does not want to hear about Ronaldo’s rapprochement. It is not yet clear what exactly happened at Portugal’s training session, or whether Cancelo is actually angry at the Manchester United superstar or at someone else.
The video, which is rapidly spreading through social media, shows Cancelo staring ahead in frustration. Ronaldo then walks towards the 28-year-old right leg, but Cancelo does not seem to feel like the captain’s consolation. In the reactions, the short fragment is used as a model of Ronaldo’s position in the Portuguese national team, but the reason is missing in the video. As a result, it is not possible to see who Cancelo is furious with. Others speculate about an incident between João Félix and the fullback.

On Tuesday, two players from Portugal already stood up for Ronaldo. In conversation with Record told João Mário that there is nothing going on between Bruno Fernandes and the striker. “I was in the dressing room at the time. I’ve seen the images and it’s funny how they are interpreted. It was a joke. Bruno was one of the last to arrive, and Cristiano asked him if he had come by boat. I think their relationship is great, I saw them all day yesterday. There is no problem between them.”
Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Danilo Pereira also spoke out about Ronaldo’s situation in an interview with world football association FIFA. “Ronaldo will always be criticized because that sells. He is a player who is talked about every day. If he plays badly, it will be talked about. Even if he plays reasonably, that is discussed. Fortunately, Ronaldo is used to the spotlight being on him as the star player of the national team.”
