But he was ineffective in Portugal\u2019s final two games of group play and was pulled midway through the second half of a 2-1 loss to South Korea.<\/p>\n<p>Ronaldo\u2019s body language indicated the superstar was annoyed at being taken out of the game \u2014 something Portugal coach Fernando Santos remained silent about for nearly three days.<\/p>\n<p>Finally in his Monday <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">news<\/a> conference, Santos conceded Ronaldo\u2019s attitude in the game against South Korea was the one distraction \u2014 of many \u2014 that had pushed him too far.<\/p>\n<p>Before Portugal&#8217;s first match of the World Cup, Ronaldo cut ties with Manchester United and is reportedly being wooed by a Saudi Arabian team with the promise of an exorbitant paycheck, and a poll in Portugal showed that fans in his home country wanted the superstar dropped from the lineup.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI didn\u2019t like it, not at all. I really didn\u2019t like it,\u201d Santos said Monday of Ronaldo\u2019s poor attitude at being taken out of the game against South Korea. \u201cWe fixed that in-house and that\u2019s it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Portugal defender R\u00faben Dias, meanwhile, pleaded with Portuguese <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">media<\/a> to help \u201ccreate unity\u201d in the camp instead of division. It was Portuguese daily O Bola\u2019s poll that showed fans at home had tired of Ronaldo and preferred he didn\u2019t play against Switzerland.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not unprecedented for Ronaldo to get less playing time because the aging superstar has faded of late. He barely played in the Premier League for United through the first half of the season, and Santos dropped him from the Portugal lineup for a Nations League game against Spain in March.<\/p>\n<p>With Ronaldo, Portugal has advanced to the round of 16 of the World Cup in four of his five tournaments, but he\u2019s never played in a World Cup final. Portugal in 2006 lost to France in the semifinals \u2014 the deepest Ronaldo has ever reached at the World Cup.<\/p>\n<p>Although he\u2019s scored in five tournaments, he has only eight total goals in 20 World Cup matches. His 118 goals in international play is a world record for men, but Ronaldo has never scored in the knockout stage of the World Cup.<\/p>\n<p>Lionel Messi, Ronaldo\u2019s greatest rival over the years, has scored three goals so far in this World Cup and helped Argentina reach the quarterfinals. Messi has nine career World Cup goals, and like Ronaldo, has never won the tournament.<\/p>\n<p>___<\/p>\n<p>AP World Cup coverage: <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/hub\/world-cup\" data-ylk=\"slk:https:\/\/apnews.com\/hub\/world-cup\" class=\"link rapid-noclick-resp\">https:\/\/apnews.com\/hub\/world-cup<\/a> and <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AP_Sports\" data-ylk=\"slk:https:\/\/twitter.com\/AP_Sports\" class=\"link rapid-noclick-resp\">https:\/\/twitter.com\/AP_Sports<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
