Kari Arnason, the Iceland defender, has responded to Cristiano Ronaldo’s scathing attack on his team’s European Championship debut by branding the Portugal captain a graceless human being who will always be regarded as inferior to Lionel Messi.
“The thing is we almost nicked the win so him saying we weren’t going for the win contradicts that. We got a draw and could have nicked it.
“Obviously we’re not going to create as much chances as a fantastic team like Portugal but his comments are the reason why Messi is always going to be one step ahead of him. You wouldn’t expect Messi to say that. It shows we got under his skin. It was lovely to hear that.”
Ronaldo
ended the game embroiled in an argument with the referee and, despite
his reluctance to shake hands with Iceland’s players, did so with
captain Aron Gunnarsson.
Arnason added: “It makes it even sweeter when he’s a sore loser like that. He can say whatever he wants. He didn’t really get a chance. He got one and he couldn’t put it away. What can I say? Sore loser. Tough shit. What does he expect for us to play like Barcelona against him? He fannies about and dives around.”
