Canadian pundit and TV show host Sid Seixeiro has berated Al-Nassr striker Cristiano Ronaldo after he abandoned the Portuguese national team camp a few days ago.
He slammed the iconic striker recently while commenting on the saga, which trended on several social media platforms, on The Sid Seixeiro Show.
Ronaldo left the camp before their UEFA Nations League clash with Denmark on Thursday after Jesus left him on the bench for the Croatia game.
He later took to his verified handle to wish his teammates well and promise his fans he would be providing details on why he took the decision much later.

Reacting to his exit from the Portuguese camp, Seixeiro claimed that Ronaldo wants to score 1,000 goals and continue his rivalry with Inter Miami forward Lionel Messi.
He went on to add that there was a clear reason his Portugal teammates never respected him the way Argentina players do with their own captain.
”Ronaldo, at 41 years of age, believes he helps the team by scoring, not by running, not by making a run, not by trying to draw a defender, not by working hard,” he said on his show.
Seixeiro added, “He wants to score because that is his ego and his rep. He also wants to score a thousand goals because Messi didn’t, and it is the only thing he has over Messi.
“The other thing about Messi is that he is respected and liked within his own room. Ronaldo is not.”
