Case CR7, the boy’s mother attacks: “Should we meet him just because it’s him? My son doesn’t want to see him “

The Cristiano Ronaldo case continues to make noise (and it would be strange otherwise). The Manchester United footballer, furious over the Red Devils’ defeat against Everton, broke the phone of a Toffees fan, a 14-year-old autistic boy named Jake, at the end of the match. he apologized for the incident and invited the boy and his family to Old Trafford, but it seems that there will be no reconciliation.

It almost seems like we owe him a favor, I’m sorry but we don’t. We said no to the offer to go see United because Jake doesn’t want to go, he doesn’t want to see Ronaldo, he said it clearly. And it’s his words, not mine. In the end he is the only thing that matters, this story has affected him more than me, so he decides and he has decided that he does not want to go “. And the controversy, of course, continues …
