Cristiano Ronaldo has said that his angry reaction after being substituted against South Korea was aimed at an opponent and not Portugal's manager, Fernando Santos.
Before Ronaldo explained what happened, Portuguese media had reported that he was mumbling "You're in a f*cking hurry to sub me off" before leaving the pitch.
Speaking at a post-match interview, the former Manchester United player said his reaction was directed towards an opposing player and not Santos for taking him off in the 65th minute.
