The mother of an autistic boy is awaiting a hefty Premier League ban against Cristiano Ronaldo, who destroyed her son’s mobile phone at the end of a match last April.
A strong sanction for Cristiano Ronaldo? This is the wish of a mother of an autistic child. Very upset with the Portuguese star, the latter hopes that he will be severely sanctioned by the English Football Federation for having destroyed the phone of his 14-year-old son.
Last April, at the end of the match lost by Manchester United on Everton’s pitch (1-0), Cristiano Ronaldo He was pretty upset when he came back to the locker room. And on the way, he grabbed the young man’s laptop before violently throwing it to the ground. Although the case had caused a stir in England, the police, who had opened an investigation for “assault”, had sent, in mid-August, a simple call to order to the five-time Ballon d’Or.
But the 37-year-old may not get away with it so lightly. Late last week, the English Football Association announced that he had been charged with “violent or inappropriate” behaviour, subjecting him to one or more games of suspension. And the teenager’s mother expects an exemplary sanction. “Hopefully he will be punished as he should be. He still can’t get away with it. His behavior is unacceptable,” he told the Daily Mirror.
the teenager is still traumatized
Especially since his son would still be traumatized by the gesture of Cristiano Ronaldo, who a few hours after his behavior had apologized on his Instagram account. “This should have been resolved six months ago. My son tells me every day what happened to him, “he added, condemning the Mancunian’s attitude. “He can attack a child and continue with his normal life. How can he sleep at night knowing the anguish he caused a young fan? (…) He offered to see him and that he was sorry, but he said that he hadn’t done anything wrong. They are not excuses, they are insults.
This matter has not finished spilling ink across the English Channel, and could find its epilogue with the return of Cristiano Ronaldo to England, after Portugal’s decisive Nations League match on Tuesday against Spain.
