Argentina's forward, Yamila Rodriguez, defended her decision to have a tattoo of Cristiano Ronaldo on her left shin.
Argentina's forward, Yamila Rodriguez, defended her decision to have a tattoo of Cristiano Ronaldo on her left shin. She clarified that supporting Ronaldo doesn't mean she doesn't appreciate their World Cup-winning star, Lionel Messi. Some people on social media criticized her for favoring Ronaldo, who is Messi's rival.
On Instagram, she expressed her frustration, stating that she never claimed to be against Messi. Rodriguez believes that it's perfectly fine to have idols or players from other countries that you admire. While Messi is a great captain for the national team, she sees Ronaldo as her inspiration and idol.
She emphasized that there's nothing wrong with having a Ronaldo tattoo just because he's not from her country. Rodriguez believes that in football, everyone has their preferences, and supporting one player doesn't mean rejecting others. The criticism and hurtful comments she received on social media have affected her, and she pleaded for understanding and respect.
In the Women's World Cup group opener, Rodriguez came on as a substitute in Argentina's 1-0 loss to Italy. They are set to play against South Africa next.
