Katia Aveiro took to social media this Wednesday to defend Cristiano Ronaldo, who came off the bench in a win over Switzerland, in a lengthy message on Tuesday. (6-1) -, emphasizing that he just wanted his brother to return home, where he was “understood and accepted.”
Read Katia Aveiro’s post in full:
“Portugal won. Thank God. New talent shone. Great. Will we win this? I believe in it! Ronaldo was yelled on the pitch. It wasn’t because Portugal were winning… And I’m not the one saying that, I’m glad that Portugal won (I’ve seen Portugal win so many times).
And even this does not negate the small number of a significant part of the Portuguese people. And that’s what is wrong, because they continue to swear, they continue to insist on resentment and ingratitude. Too sad from what I read and hear. Not here, in Qatar, but in my country, in his country… But very sad.
And I so wanted.
I so wanted him to come home, leave the national team and sit next to us so that we could hug him and tell him that everything is fine, remind him of what he has achieved and what house he came from, I so wanted he didn’t go there anymore, we’ve suffered enough (they’ll never know how much). You are big, and the little ones don’t understand how big you are… Come to your house. That’s where they understand you, where they hug you. As always. Where do you get all the gratitude from? And not ingratitude. Thanks Ronaldo. Thank you. I so wanted. But whatever you decide, we are with you. To death. Thanks”.
