Cristiano Ronaldo branded ‘a fool’ by Didi Hamann for trying to disgrace Rudiger

EURO 2020
Cristiano Ronaldo has been branded a ‘fool’ by former Liverpool player Didi Hamann after Portugal’s 4-2 defeat against Germany in Munich. After losing against France, Germany were staring down the barrel of an ignominious early exit when Ronaldo put his country ahead in the 15th minute, starting and finishing a quick counter attack which began with the player heading a corner out of his own penalty area. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Moments later, the Juventus star produced a sublime piece of skill, flicking the ball up with his instep and over Antonio Rudiger, before backheeling it without looking. Hamann, however, was not impressed, claiming the 36-year-old’s self-indulgence was counter productive and would have spurred on Joachim Low's, who cane bac...

Mourinho criticises Eden Hazard’s ‘awful’ habit at Chelsea

Premier League, EURO 2020
Jose Mourinho says Eden Hazard was ‘awful’ in training at Chelsea and believes he would be even better if he had a ‘super-professional attitude’.

Bruno Fernandes explains why Ronaldo isn’t most valuable player at Portugal

EURO 2020
Bruno Fernandes has used the old phrase: 'There's no 'i' in team', in his verdict on Portugal teammate Cristiano Ronaldo.

The Manchester United star adding: "The most valuable player in the national team is the 'we'. The 'we' is the most important, there are many Is, but the 'us' i...

EURO 2020
Ukraine’s Andriy Yarmolenko has poked fun at Cristiano Ronaldo’s Coca-Cola snub, while Harry Kane says he won’t be joining the bizarre backlash against the drink. Earlier this week, Ronaldo moved two bottles of coke out of shot during an interview, instead holding up a bottle of water and he said, ‘Agua!’ – or ‘Water!’ in Portuguese. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); The Portuguese superstar’s actions caused a stir and wiped £2.85bn off Coca-Cola’s share price, while Italy’s Manuel Locatelli followed suit a couple of days later and Paul Pogba also moved a Heineken bottle away for religious reasons. But with UEFA ready to fine any more players who follow suit, the tone towards Euro 2020’s sponsors shifted on Thursday, with Yarmolenko mocking Ronaldo, while K...
