After the euro 2016 face off took place on Tuesday between Ronaldo and Iceland.
Despite Ronaldo being tipped as favorite, Iceland managed a 1-1 draw and as a result Ronaldo blasted Iceland.
Ronaldo’s sub par performance saw him miss a few chances and it was doubly surprising when just after the match, he blasted Iceland. Read below what Ronaldo said ;
“It was a little bit frustrating, we tried hard to win the game, Iceland didn’t try anything,
“They scored a goal, they created two chances in the ninety minutes and otherwise they got every player behind the ball, they put the bus in the net so it’s difficult when one team don’t try but Portugal try and play football and try to win the game.
“We just try our best, keep the ball all the time but Iceland didn’t try anything, they were just ‘defend, defend, defend’ and playing on the counter attack. It was a lucky night for them.
“We should have three points but we are OK. I thought they’d won the Euros the way they celebrated at the end, it was unbelievable. When they don’t try to play and just defend, defend, defend this in my opinion shows a small mentality and they are not going to do anything in the competition.”
“It’s a bit frustrating for us but it’s just the beginning for us, we’re not worried about that, If you see Spain, France, they are the strongest teams in the tournament and had a difficult time to win their games so for us it was tough but we are confident.
“We’re 100 per cent confident we’ll win our next game. The rankings don’t mean anything.”
