Rui Águas questions global star’s behaviour: maybe he should have... | OneFootball

Rui Águas believes that Cristiano Ronaldo should pay more attention to the political figures he promotes, in a clear criticism of the National Team captain’s meeting with Donald Trump. In his regular opinion column in the newspaper A Bola, the former Benfica footballer – who recently praised a Sporting player – also expressed his happiness with the victory over Ajax.

“The debate about Cristiano Ronaldo’s place in the starting lineup for the National Team continues and, more recently, the star has been criticized for mingling in very questionable political circles. CR7 has publicly admitted that he can’t watch the news. Maybe he should, to get to know the actors of current world politics 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: “In the midst of all this commotion, there’s 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. It’s these spectacular moments that enchant Cristiano’s followers, capable of confusing—or not—the convictions of critics, whom the super athlete insists on proving wrong.”

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.”
