The Qatar World Cup was quite a busy one for Cristiano Ronaldo. The Portuguese, a starter in the first three matches, became a substitute in the round of 16 and quarter-finals after a controversial action during the group stage match against South Korea.
The Portuguese, who was substituted after 65 minutes, reacted badly to the change. After the stir that it generated, the '7' justified himself by saying that he told a Korean to shut up who asked him to leave the pitch quickly.
Far from the truth, Fernando Santos' son informed his father of what Ronaldo actually said during this substitution. "You're in a hurry to f*ck me," he told the 'Correio da Manha'.
As a result, the media reported that the coach clashed with the Madeira-born player in front of the entire squad. "You can't react like that, don't forget that I'm in charge here," the Portuguese allegedly said.
Following his warning, Fernando Santos decided to leave him on the bench against Switzerland, something that didn't sit well with Cristiano. In fact, all this generated a big controversy because 'Record' published that the striker threatened to leave the training camp and the coach had to deny it.
