Recep Tayyip Erdoğan: Benching Ronaldo was political
The President of Turkey spoke about Cristiano Ronaldo
Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, the President of Turkey, claimed in his speech last night that the benching of Cristiano Ronaldo, the superstar of the Portugal national team, in the 2022 World Cup was political.
Erdoğan said about this: They wasted Ronaldo’s talent. Sending a footballer like Ronaldo onto the field with 30 minutes left in the game messed with his mind, destroyed his morale, and drained his energy. Cristiano Ronaldo is someone who supports the Palestinian cause. He paid the price for this. Unfortunately, they sidelined Cristiano Ronaldo and imposed political sanctions against him.
Erdoğan also claimed that, based on the information he has, Ronaldo will be heading to Saudi Arabia.
