It was an overload of emotion – Mourinho criticizes Ronaldo’s Euro 2016 final antics

Manchester United boss, Jose Mourinho, has blasted his compatriot, Cristiano Ronaldo, for his behaviour on the sidelines during Portugal’s 1-0 win over France in the 2016 European Championship.
The Real Madrid forward was taken off during the game because of injury, but returned to the bench, to urge his team-mates on.

Ronaldo has already been criticized by Portugal legend, Antonio Simeos and Mourinho has now joined in.


“Cristiano Ronaldo didn’t help in any way by doing that in the final few minutes of the Euros final,” Mourinho said on SporTV.

“There were 11 players on the pitch doing their job, and the person in charge of directing them was the coach.

“I saw it as an overload of emotion from someone who saw that the team was just minutes away from achieving an objective which everyone wanted.”
