EPlaying against classic rivals, even in youth league matches, can be experienced in full intensity. Cristiano Ronaldo’s eldest son made headlines during the Under-15 match between Al Nasr and Al Hilal, but it wasn’t for his extraordinary play or amazing goal.
Cristiano Jr. was furious at the decision of his team’s coaching staff and the referee and received a yellow card.
Virus explosion by CR7’s son
The altercation began when Ronaldo Jr. was pushed and fell by one of his opponents during a scramble for the ball. The young player’s teammates immediately protested that it was a foul, but the referee decided to continue the game without giving a warning.
This reaction angered CR7 Jr., who made his displeasure clear. But the match continued, and just when things seemed to be calming down, tensions reached their peak.
Near the end of the match, Al Nasr’s coaching staff replaced Ronaldo’s son. According to GOAL, the young player, dissatisfied with the incident, did not hide his anger and protested to the referee with angry gestures as he made his way to the sideline to leave the field.
The referee immediately reacted to this action and decided to show him a yellow card. The heated moment was shared on social media, with users giving a variety of opinions.
Some thought that this reaction was disproportionate and that he should have stayed calm as such an outburst could harm him, but others thought that this was an understandable reaction considering the competitive nature he showed, just like his father.
Meanwhile, CR7 was in Spain, traveling to Madrid to treat a hamstring injury after being substituted in Al Nasr’s last match against Al Faiha (3-1). He is scheduled to return to the field around April 3, so his participation in Portugal’s final two World Cup warm-up games against Mexico and March 31 against the USMNT is in doubt.
