The world’s top soccer player is all set to pack his bags and leave the FIFA World Cup in Qatar as tensions grow between him and his national team’s coach.
It’s been a tough World Cup for Ronaldo as he’s been steeped in plenty of controversies.
First, we saw the star play to exit the world’s top premiere league Manchester United and right after that, we saw him sign a new contract worth billions with another league in Saudi Arabia.
Right after that, there were plenty of accusations being thrown by the player toward the management of Manchester United whom he accused of playing dirty tactics including calling the player out for not performing while he was going through a traumatic personal experience involving the death of one of his twins.
Now, after the World Cup in Qatar had begun, we saw the star player refusing to train with fellow players of his team, despite being told to do so.point 237 |

Despite playing his role as Captain, he failed to perform during the first game. And that’s when during the second game, it looked as if the world’s number one was punished after being forced to sit on the benches as a substitute.
The Portugal national team won a thrashing victory against the Swiss soccer team, where the attacking side was able to score six goals without Ronaldo. It was a huge slap in the face for Ronaldo who felt as if he was not needed, despite being the captain of the squad.
Now, sources claim the player is all set to pack his bags and leave the tournament but won’t do so after having a round of tense talks with the team’s boss Fernando Santos. He still admitted to the media how the star player is still committed to the cause of winning and showing support for his national team.
