The Korean media was dissatisfied with Ronaldo's apology to Chinese fans: he didn't play in South Korea and didn't say anything
There was an unexpected situation in Riyadh's China tour, their two matches with Shenhua and Zhejiang were officially postponed, and it is unknown when they will be held, while football superstar Cristiano Ronaldo made it clear that he will not be able to play due to injury, which has attracted a lot of media and fans at home and abroad. For this reason, Ronaldo personally apologized to Chinese fans with a relatively sincere attitude.
Ronaldo specifically said: "I want to say sorry to the Chinese fans, I know everyone will be sad, I am also sad, China is my second hometown, I will come back." ”
In fact, Ronaldo was already injured before arriving in Shenzhen, and his teammates had revealed to the media that Ronaldo's injury needed to rest for more than two weeks, so he would not play on this trip to China, which was completely inconsistent with the organizer's initial promotion of Ronaldo's play, perhaps during which side got the wrong information, resulting in misunderstanding, and finally the game could only be postponed, and Ronaldo could only apologize.
It is worth mentioning that Ronaldo's voluntary apology made the South Korean media jealous, and a South Korean media reported on the matter and compared Ronaldo's previous attitude in South Korea, specifically saying: Ronaldo has good memories of China, which is completely different from treating South Korea. In 2019, he played a friendly match with Inter Milan on behalf of Juventus in Nanjing, Ronaldo was warmly welcomed by Chinese fans after coming on the field, and after the end of the China tour, Juventus went to South Korea to face off against the K-League all-star team, and this time Ronaldo did not play. In the end, he left without apologies.
It can be seen that this South Korean media is very dissatisfied with Ronaldo's two different attitudes, why does it need to apologize if he does not play in China, but he does not need to apologize when he does not play in South Korea?
From the player's point of view, playing in this kind of commercial game, whether he plays or not depends on his personal mood, after all, it is a commercial event without honor, and it is impossible for athletes to play reluctantly, it can only be said that Ronaldo has no good impression of South Korea, he does not want to show his skills in front of Korean fans, on the other hand, he is relatively friendly to Chinese fans.
For Cristiano Ronaldo, he is a superstar of world football and has his fans all over the world, but it is not necessary to please all the fans, because not all of them are worth it.
On the other hand, South Korea's sports culture has always been controversial, and their actions in the World Cup between South Korea and Japan have been controversial in the past, which may also be the reason why Ronaldo does not like to play in front of South Korean fans. There is a cause and an effect, and the development of Korean football has always been good, and even world-class stars such as Son Heung-min have been born, but it is unknown whether their sports culture is accepted by everyone.
