Cristiano Ronaldo’s Second Sister Asks Him To Leave The World Cup And Come Back Home

Cristiano Ronaldo’s sister has pleaded with him to quit the World Cup and come home after being dropped to Portugal’s bench against Switzerland.

Ronaldo appeared dissatisfied with being left out of Portugal’s World Cup last-16 match against Switzerland on Tuesday, December 6th, after the team struggled in the group stage.

Fernando Santos, the head coach of Portugal, had stated that he was not pleased with Ronaldo’s outburst after being substituted in their last group stage match against South Korea.

The coach also claimed that the tactical choice to bench Ronaldo against Switzerland was the right one.

Goncalo Ramos, 21, who started for the first time for his country in Ronaldo’s place, scored three goals in a decisive 6-1 win. Ronaldo, however, failed to score after coming on 73 minutes into the game.

It was reported that the 37-year-old recently has an argument with Santos, and even made threats to leave Qatar. However, Portugal FA has refuted those allegations.

Katia Aveiro, Ronaldo’s 45-year-old sister, has now angrily spoken out, asking her brother to withdraw from the World Cup.

In a social media post, Aveiro wrote: “Portugal won. Thank God. New talents shone. Amazing. Are we going to win this? I believe so!!

“On the field, they shouted for Ronaldo. It wasn’t because Portugal was winning… And I’m not saying this. The world watched… Why is it???

“I’m glad Portugal won… (I’ve seen Portugal win so many times) And even this doesn’t invalidate the smallness of a large part of the Portuguese people. And this is what is not right, because they continue to curse, they continue to insist on offence and ingratitude.

“Too sad with what I read and hear not here in Qatar but in my country in his country… But really sad. AND I WANTED IT SO MUCH.

“I really wanted him to come home, leave the national team and sit next to us so we could hug him and say that everything is fine, remind him of what he conquered and what home he came from.

“I really wanted him not to go there anymore, we have suffered enough (they will never know how big) you are and the little ones don’t realise how huge you are…

“Come to your house. Which is where they understand you, where they embrace you. As always was. Where you have all the gratitude. And not ingratitude.

“Thank you, Ronaldo. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I really wanted to… But whatever you decide, we are with you. Until death. Thanks.”

Not just Katia, but other members of Ronaldo’s family, have criticized Santos for benching him in the Portugal squad.

Elma, one of his other sisters, also criticized the head coach for this week’s ‘humiliation’ of her brother.

Elma wrote on Instagram: “Yes Ronaldo is not eternal, yes Ronaldo won’t play forever, unfortunately, he doesn’t score goals now, he’s old, Portugal doesn’t need Ronaldo.

“We talked about what we heard, all that he did isn’t important, all that he did was forgotten.

“Now they ask for forgiveness and they don’t need him. I will register that and later we’ll talk.

“Rui Santos, what will he apologise for? Now we can f*** who we want.

“It is a shame to humiliate a man who has given so much, but later I will see a lot more.”
