Luiz Felipe Scolari,Portugal’s coach has warned Cristiano Ronaldo that he has to keep his temper in check after seeing his star man escape with only a booking in the 3-0 friendly win over Luxembourg after retaliating to a tackle at Metz’s Stade St Symphorien.
Scolari has once again showed that he is not a respector of “star status” (as Ronaldo has),but instead has reminded Ronaldo that football is a team game and thus it’s important to keep that in mind always.
‘I want him to bear this in mind. He is part of a squad. We are trying to show him the difficulties he will have in the next few days. Of course I am worried about him.
‘We’re trying to make him understand referees do not always penalise fouls. Cristiano has a good character and listens to his team-mates. I think he will change.’ Scolari said.
Ronaldo admitted he had been wrong to react at Metz, telling journalists: ‘I can show you the state of my foot. It’s not easy.
‘But it does not justify my reaction and I hope I don’t do it again because it could cost us at the World Cup.
‘I must bear that in mind and once again I say sorry and I hope it won’t happen at the World Cup.’
