The press officer of the Portuguese national team, Francisco Abreu, said that the leader of his team, Cristiano Ronaldo, took out chewing gum during the 2022 World Cup match with Ghana. The footage of the famous football player taking something out of his underpants and putting it in his mouth has spread all over the world media.
“It was chewing gum. Nothing more. Just a piece of chewing gum, ”Abreu is quoted by the Portuguese edition of expressen.
Note that Cristiano Ronaldo's next chance to hide chewing gum in his shorts will be on Monday. Then Portugal will play with Uruguay.
At the same time, according to A Bola, it was about an energy supplement. At the moment when the game episode was over and the Portuguese did not take an active part in the game, he allegedly decided to "recharge".
