Fizzy drink giant Coca-Cola is the official sponsor of Euro 2020. Even so, Cristiano Ronaldo did not hesitate to get rid of the Coca-Cola bottle that was nearby.
The moment occurred at the start of Portugal’s press conference ahead of its first match against Hungary on Monday (14/6/2021) local time. At that time, the five-time Ballon d’Or winner accompanied coach Fernando Santos to carry out his media obligations.
In each seat near the speaker, in this case Santos and Ronaldo, two bottles of Coca-Cola are placed. After occupying his seat, the Portuguese football superstar immediately pushed the coke to his left side so that it would not be visible from the television camera.
Ronaldo then took a plastic bottle filled with water that was near him. This Juventus mainstay player said that it was better to just drink water.
This action of Cristiano Ronaldo was responded to by various netizens. There are funny comments because of the actions of the former Manchester United and Real Madrid player. However, there are also those who think that Ronaldo is just pretentious.
“I don’t think sponsors are happy at the moment,” tweeted qualkierpersona.
“He’s a person who likes Fanta,” said the MrRedDevil27 account.
“Shocking reaction from someone who used to be the face of KFC for years,” tweeted marcmcgonagle.
Cristiano Ronaldo is an athlete who is passionate about healthy living. The 36-year-old footballer recently admitted to being annoyed with his son, Cristiano Jr, who still consumes fizzy drinks and chips.
“We’ll see if my son will become a great footballer or not. Sometimes he drinks Coca-Cola and eats chips and it irritates me, he knows that,” he said late last year.
“Sometimes I tell my son to take a cold soak to recover after a run on the treadmill and he’s like, ‘Well, it’s really cold.’ It’s okay, he’s still 10 years old,” Ronaldo said.
