Cristiano Ronaldo's sister, Katia Aveiro, has responded to the wave of criticism that began after the star footballer attended a White House dinner hosted by US President Donald Trump.
İdman.Biz reports that her views were published by "A Bola".
Aveiro harshly criticized those who condemned Ronaldo for attending the event.
She emphasized that her brother has always built his career solely through his own hard work and has not been influenced by political views or parties.
According to Katia Aveiro, the reaction to Ronaldo's visit to the White House is reminiscent of "mass hysteria".
His sister stated that critics present the ordinary manifestation of the footballer's personal freedom as if a serious violation or crime has occurred.
"You are hypocrites! Suddenly such a hysteria started... It's as if Cristiano announced the end of the world. The reaction was so exaggerated that it resembled an alarm signal. Attention, attention! Ronaldo used his personal freedom. I repeat – personal, freedom," said the footballer's sister.
It should be reminded that the meeting between US President Donald Trump and the star footballer of the Portuguese national team and Saudi Arabia's "Al-Nassr" club, Cristiano Ronaldo, took place in the White House on November 19.
