Cristiano Ronaldo continues to get his name in the headlines for many reasons. One of the reasons is the separation rumors with his girlfriend, Rodriguez. The couple is going through a rough patch in their relationship. However, the player is also in the news for his recent poor domestic display.
The 38-year-old recently endured a shock exit from the semi-finals of the Arabian Cup at the hands of Al Wedha. He has been facing a lot of hatred and criticism from Saudi Arabia fans. It hasn’t been going well for the Portuguese star. Already getting roasted for his poor display, the striker once again got criticized by a rival teammate.

Rival player reveals Cristiano Ronaldo yelling at his teammates
It hasn’t been a good weekend for Ronaldo. The five-time Ballon d’Or winner is facing a lot of opprobrium. In fact, a rival player has shed light on his bad behavior. Al Wedha player David Beauguel has revealed the dark side of the Al Nassr skipper.
“I was a little disappointed. At the end of the game, I told him I was a big fan and asked for his shirt. He shook my hand without looking me in the eye, with a very contemptuous air. I remained silent because I grew up with him. I still remember the videos I watched of him when he was in college,” said Beauguel, who scored the only goal in the match against Al Nassr.

The Al Wedha player was surprised to see CR7 in such a mood. “I understand that he was disappointed after the loss, that he is a great competitor, but his attitude surprised me. Even on the court, he was upset, he yelled at his teammates.”
The player also pointed out how the presence of the Portuguese has changed the Saudi championship. ” Beyond the economic aspect, which is sure to be positive, I think it’s great for Saudi football. The Saudis are football fans . And his arrival may push players of his caliber want to play here. This will allow the development of football here, academies, training centers,” he said to L Èquipe.
Ronaldo must be self-introspecting about these claims or maybe not. Either way, the skipper must be missing a good night’s sleep as his side continues to struggle on the pitch.

They have been hurting a lot on the pitch. Furthermore, this was their yet another poor exit from a major competition. It seems all the things have gone south for them, especially for Ronaldo. Either way, if they are keen to win something this year, then they definitely need to buckle up.
