Cristiano Ronaldo, who is obviously not enjoying his team’s
performance at the ongoing Euro 2016, threw a reporter’s microphone in a lake
on Wednesday after objecting to being approached hours before Portugal’s match
against Hungary.
He also drew criticism after slamming Iceland for their
“small mentality” after the minnows held Portugal to a 1-1 draw in their
opening match.
But the Real Madrid superstar was in no mood to talk when a
reporter from the TV station of Portuguese newspaper Correio da Manha
approached him during a morning team walk at a lake in Lyon, just hours before
kick-off.
Video of the incident shows the reporter asking: “Ronaldo,
ready for the game today?”
But without a word or glance at the journalist, Ronaldo took
his microphone and threw it in the lake, then carried on with the team stroll.
There is a history of bad blood between Ronaldo and Correio
da Manha, who he successfully sued after the Portuguese newspaper printed
details of his private life.
The Portugal captain appears to be feeling the pressure with
his team needing at least a point at the Stade de Lyon to reach the last 16 in
their final Group F match.
