The fallout from Sepp Blatter’s comments about Cristiano Ronaldo continues, with the president of the Portuguese Football Federation, Fernando Gomes, expressing strong disagreement with Blatter’s characterization of the star player. Gomes emphasized that Cristiano Ronaldo is not the person portrayed by Blatter, highlighting the player’s unwavering sensitivity and honesty, both professionally and personally.
Gomes added, “Normally, people who are outspoken are misunderstood most of the time. I admit that this can be misinterpreted and that it creates a negative image of Cristiano which does not correspond to reality. Sometimes we have the impression that he is someone who is not humble, but he is a fantastic person.”
Real Madrid’s president had previously demanded an apology from Sepp Blatter, considering his comments disrespectful to the player. As of now, Blatter has not responded to these demands. The controversy surrounding Blatter’s remarks underscores the intense scrutiny and reactions that surround high-profile figures in the world of football.
