Speaking on the incident, presenter Nubaid Haroon of Reach’s new podcast Euro Thrash drew Brown’s attention to Ronaldo’s outburst, saying, “Your mate Cristiano was playing, and he was raging.” “What was going on with him?”
Brown responded, “That’s normal. He’s come off, he wants to score. I’ve said this in previous ones. His attitude’s so good. People might think he’s snapping at other people but he’s not.
“He’s just wounded he’s not scored before he’s come off. He probably knew he was coming off after a certain amount of time by the way, and he’ll just be disappointed he’s not contributed or got an assist or a goal,” as reported by The Mirror.
