Currently, in the ongoing World Championship, Portugal's Cristiano Ronaldo, who did not score against the Colombian and DR Congo teams, found the reason for his failure.

The "Daily Mail" reports that the 41-year-old Portugal national team's leader pointed his finger at the "Nike" company’s "golden" shoes made for him.

During the match against Colombia, C. Ronaldo struggled to break through the opponent's defense and unleashed all his frustration during the halftime break.

The angry veteran simply threw the new "Nike" shoes into the trash can and retrieved his usual footwear from the American company.

This move surprised both his teammates and "Nike" itself.

The footballer's sponsors fully understand that this is a huge negative advertisement for their products.
