While оn internаtiоnаl duty with Pоrtugаl, Diоgо Dаlоt mаkes fun оf his оld teаmmаte аnd rivаl аt Mаnchester United, Cristiаnо Rоnаldо, fоr being аddicted tо his phоne.
While representing Portugal internationally, former Manchester United teammate Diogo Dalot made fun of Cristiano Ronaldo.
While the team was getting ready to play Slovakia and Bosnia and Herzegovina, the defender took a break to post a humorous Instagram story with the Al-Nassr striker engrossed on his phone.
With the remark “This new generation always on the phone,” the 24-year-old poked fun at his 38-year-old coworker.Dalot has already discussed his adoration for the Portuguese legend and said that he was inspired to transfer to Old Trafford in 2018 by a desire to emulate Ronaldo’s success.
Then, in 2021, the former Porto kid received his dream team-up with his hero as Ronaldo re-signed with the Red Devils for two years.
Unfortunately, his stint in Manchester was cut short just over a year later after his release and subsequent blockbuster tell-all interview with Piers Morgan, allowing him to relocate to Saudi Arabia.
Dalot refused to come off the bench during United’s 2-0 win against Spurs last year, leading to issues between himself and new manager Erik ten Hag. Shortly before his departure, Dalot defended Ronaldo.After the team’s triumph against Sheriff Tiraspol in the Europa League, Dalot told Sky Sports, “We are very happy to have Cristiano.” We are a better team because he is on the field and because he is helping us every time he is there. “Yesterday he scored a goal, this is what he has been doing for 20 years now.”
A win in Portugal’s most recent international games would seal the country’s spot in the upcoming European Championships, taking place next summer.
Joao Neves, a promising 19-year-old midfielder, has been called up for the first time by Roberto Martinez’s team, which has yet to allow a goal.
