Spitting mad: Cristiano Ronaldo vents his anger in defeat in the most  unsavoury manner by spitting at TV camerman


Cristiano Ronaldo ook out his frustration by spitting towards a TV camera following Portugal's exit last night.

The Real Madrid winger spat at the feet of a cameraman who was trailing him at the final whistle.
Ronaldo endured a particularly poor night and appeared not to take kindly to being the focus of attention as he trudged off the pitch.

Ask the boss: Unhappy after Portugal's exit and a poor performance  Ronaldo directed post-match questions towards coach Carlos Queiroz


It is a far cry from the last World Cup in Germany when he winked at team-mates after getting Wayne Rooney sent off in Portugal's quarter-final victory over England.

Ronaldo was in no mood to take the blame for the 1-0 loss to Spain and appeared to point the finger at the coach who made him captain, saying only: 'Ask Carlos Queiroz.'

The most expensive player in the history of the game - he cost Real Madrid £80m when he left Manchester United a year ago -  didn't leave a major impression on the World Cup despite all the pre-tournament hype.

His statistics in South Africa tell only part of the story: a late goal in a 7-0 rout of lowly North Korea, some impressive free kicks, and one brilliant turn and shot that struck the post in Portugal's opener against the Ivory Coast.
His performance on and off the ball over six hours of competitive play didn't make him one of the stand out players but Queiroz insisted: 'He is our leader, our captain,' adding the decision to appoint the 25-year-old 'belongs to the federation and the national coach. Because we did that, you must believe we did that for the right reason.'

Ronaldo refused to speak to reporters after the game, joining England's Wayne Rooney and France's Franck Ribery in the list of superstars who will not remember the 2014 World Cup with any great fondness.
