Benfica legend slams Cristiano Ronaldo: very dodgy politicians | OneFootball

Rui Águas delivered strong criticism of Cristiano Ronaldo, due to his meeting with Donald Trump, in the United States of America. The former Benfica player took advantage of his opinion column in the newspaper A Bola to talk about the captain of the national team, without forgetting Benfica’s victory over Ajax. The former Eagles legend had also recently spoken about a Sporting player.

"The debate continues regarding Cristiano Ronaldo’s place in the National Team’s starting lineup and, more recently, the star has been criticized for socializing in very questionable political environments. CR7 has already publicly admitted that he can’t watch the news. Maybe he should, to get to know the actors on the current world political stage and what they are doing, before promoting them with his presence," he began, writing about the Portuguese star, who was recently a guest at the White House.

Rui Águas continued, not forgetting the national captain’s abilities: "Amidst all this commotion, there is still time for special goals, which is indeed the main and most refined quality of the Portuguese star. The goal Cristiano recently scored with an acrobatic move is yet another moment worthy of his immense history. These spectacular moments are what delight Cristiano’s followers, capable of confusing—or not—the convictions of critics, whom the super athlete insists on defying."

The former Benfica player also commented on the Eagles’ victory in Amsterdam: "The eleven chosen by Mourinho reverted, unsurprisingly, to the four-defender system, more frequently used by the Benfica coach, giving up natural wingers in favor of greater collective consistency."
