A slightly cult and very pulp scene. In the 36th minute of the first half of the world match against Ghanathat the Portugal won 3-2, Cristiano Ronaldo he slipped his right hand into his shorts, looked for something, which he found, and put that “something” in his mouth, starting to chew it. As it was easy to imagine – given the many cameras that follow him second after second, on the pitch – the curious and disgusting skit immediately became a video that earned the most popular adjective of the moment: viral.
What did Cristiano Ronaldo take from his underwear?
What did Ronaldo take from his underwear? What did he start chewing? Questions that bounced from the net up to the Portuguese Football Federation“forced” to provide answers at the end of the game. “Cristiano Ronaldo took a chewing gum and put it in his mouth”, the official explanation of Portuguese Football Federation. An explanation that brings with it two other questions: 1) can’t the former Juventus player leave his tires on the bench and have one thrown on the fly when he feels like it during the match? 2) In the video, Ronaldo is not seen unwrapping the rubber which, therefore, had no casing. How can such a gesture belong to a freak of hygiene and perfection, as is the Portuguese? Alternative hypothesis: the chewing gum had a wrapper and Ronaldo was able to unwrap it in his underpants with just his right hand and take the gum directly into his mouth. In which case he would demonstrate great skill and the “map” would remain over there, where he doesn’t beat the sun. Here too, in short, not exactly the best.
Ronaldo, a skit in the match that made him part of World Cup history
The maximum, in the sense of something never done before in the history of football, Ronaldo did then in the second half. Realizing the generous penalty granted by the referee Ismail Elfath, a Moroccan naturalized American, the now former Manchester United striker became the first player capable of scoring in five different editions of the World Cup: from goal toIran a Germany 2006 right up to the penalty against Ghana in 2022. Stuff to shake his hand. Assuming he washed it first.
