Ghana coach Otto Addo criticized the American referee who awarded the penalty that resulted in Cristiano Ronaldo바카라s record goal at the World Cup on Thursday, calling it 바카라a special gift.바카라 (More Football News)
Ronaldo won and converted the second-half penalty, making him the first male player to score in five World Cups. Portugal went on to beat Ghana 3-2.
바카라If somebody scores a goal, congratulations. But this was really a gift. Really a gift,바카라 Addo said. 바카라What more can I say? (It was) a special gift from the referee.바카라
Addo바카라s criticism of American referee Ismail Elfath was so direct that it could put him into trouble with FIFA. When asked what he thought was the reason for Ghana바카라s narrow defeat, Addo responded: 바카라The referee.바카라
Addo felt Ghana defender Mohammed Salisu didn바카라t foul Ronaldo for the penalty, and he complained that the officials didn바카라t use VAR to make sure. Salisu바카라s thigh appeared to make slight contact with Ronaldo바카라s leg before the Portugal captain went sprawling to the ground.
The 37-year-old Ronaldo, who was starting what바카라s expected to be his last World Cup, converted the penalty for his piece of history.
바카라I think it was really the wrong decision,바카라 Addo said. 바카라I don바카라t know why VAR didn바카라t come up. There바카라s no explanation for me. And then it바카라s difficult against a world-class team when they are leading.바카라
Addo is a 47-year-old former Ghana player who is in his first international coaching job and at his first World Cup. He said he even tried to meet with Elfath after the game to ask him about the incident. Addo also complained that Elfath had missed numerous fouls on his players.
바카라I tried,바카라 Addo said. 바카라I asked some people outside with FIFA if I can talk with the referee in a calm and a quiet way but they said he바카라s in a meeting and it바카라s not possible.바카라
