🚨 BREAKING: JOÃO NEVES, NUNO MENDES AND VITINHA REPORTEDLY UNFOLLOW CRISTIANO RONALDO AS TENSIONS IN THE PORTUGAL NATIONAL TEAM CONTINUE TO GROW! 😳 Fresh controversy has reportedly erupted within the Portuguese national team, with João Neves, Nuno Mendes and Vitinha all allegedly unfollowing Cristiano Ronaldo on Instagram. Reports surrounding the situation suggest that the tension goes beyond social media, with claims that some players have become increasingly distant from Ronaldo and no longer communicate or even greet the Portuguese captain as they once did. The alleged frustration is said to come from a growing feeling among some players that they were doing the hard work on the pitch, putting in the performances and carrying the responsibility, while Ronaldo continued to receive the headlines, attention and recognition. In other words, some players reportedly felt that their contributions were being overshadowed by the attention surrounding one man. If these reports are accurate, then this is becoming a serious situation for Portugal. Ronaldo has spent years being the face of the national team, carrying the expectations of an entire country and leading Portugal through some of its biggest moments. But now, with Pepe retired from international football and more reports of tension emerging, questions are being raised about the relationship between Ronaldo and some of his younger teammates. But why do they hate Cristiano Ronaldo???
