Cristiano Ronaldo — Ronaldo’s performances are otherworldly

#4 Kick on Edimar

Petulant is another word that people use to describe the former Manchester United star. He has always been an impulsive one. Speaking his mind and doing his will. Sometimes, he doesn’t think before he acts or says anything. And that is something that has gotten him into trouble more often than not.

During a league encounter against Cordoba in January 2015, the Portugal captain kicked Edimar, who was hassling him inside the box, and earned himself a red card for the shameful act.

Tempers flare on the football pitch. After all, it is a high-intensity sport. The hearts of all players pump as fast it possibly can and the blood is always surging through the veins. At such a time, humans are most liable to falling prey to wrath.

And Cristiano Ronaldo is only a human, just like the rest of us.
