When it comes to Cristiano Ronaldo, he is undoubtedly a modern-day legend, while his footballing skills are unparallel to anyone. His fans continue to remain impressed with his gameplay. However, it seems like he has drawn the wrath of Hungary head coach Marco Rossi in the 2020 UEFA Euro.

During the sides' opening game in the ongoing tournament, Portugal was up against Hungary, as the former won 3-0, with Ronaldo scoring a brace. However, Rossi has accused Ronaldo, not for his gameplay, but for his celebrations, as he feels that he takes it too far at times, demoralising the opponents.

"Ronaldo is a great champion, but at times, he can be annoying. After the penalty with us, he celebrated as if he had scored in the final. People notice these things," he told Gazzetta dello Sport.

Meanwhile, Hungary finished at the bottom of the group, thus being eliminated from the tournament. Nonetheless, Rossi applauded his side's efforts against the three top sides.

"I slept a maximum of 15 minutes last night and it's weird. I would never have thought that a draw with Germany would leave me with this feeling. I know we were good, but I'm sorry. I don't give a damn about revenge and I'm not interested in returning to Italy. I'm happy if I left a footprint in Hungarian football," he concluded.
