Argentina striker Yamila Rodrguez has defended herself for getting a tattoo of Cristiano Ronaldo on her left shin, claiming that her preference for the Portugal star does not imply that she does not respect Argentina’s World Cup-winning icon, Lionel Messi.
The 25-year-old, who also has a tattoo of Argentina superstar Diego Maradona on her left thigh, said on social media that she had got blowback for the tattoo of Messi’s major rival, Lionel Messi. Cristiano Ronaldo.
“Please stop, I’ve been having a bad day.” “When did I declare that I was anti-Messi?”She posted it on Instagram.
“I’m not experiencing a bad time because of you (fans), but because of the atrocities said without mercy.” Can’t pick an idol or a favorite player?
“Messi is the legendary captain of the national team, but simply because I say that my role model and idol is CR7 (Ronaldo) doesn’t mean I despise Messi.”
Rodrguez claimed she didn’t mind getting a Ronaldo tattoo since the Portugal striker, who has over 800 goals in his career, encouraged her.
“What is the issue?” “We are not all obligated to only love our country’s players,” she remarked.
“Please comprehend that this is football, and everyone has tastes, and highlighting one is not equivalent to burying the other.” Enough, it exhausts and pains me.”
Rodrguez came in as a late replacement in Argentina’s Women’s World Cup group opener 1-0 loss to Italy. On Friday, they will face South Africa.
