Ronaldo is the most arrogant person I’ve ever talked to

This week, the British edition of Mirror published an article titled “Arrogant Ronaldo tears mother of autistic child with creepy phone call”.

Sarah Kelly, mother of 14-year-old football fan Jake Harding, spoke in an article about contacting the five-time winner of the Golden Ball, who could not cope with his nerves after a failed Premier League game in April 2022. League

The incident mentioned in the news occurred after the match played between Liverpool “Everton” and “Manchester United” in the 32nd week of the 2021/22 season in the English Premier League (EPL), which ended in a win for the “toffees”. at least 1:0 points.

When Ronaldo left the pitch, he realized he was filming the boy’s bleeding leg. When the football player got angry and dropped the phone from a 14-year-old fan, the device broke down.

That fan was Jake Harding, who was previously diagnosed with autism and dyspraxia. His mother, Sarah Kelly, filed a police report against Ronaldo.

Trying to prevent a scandal, the Portuguese decided to talk to the victim’s mother to settle all matters in a pre-trial order.

“He’s the most arrogant person I’ve ever spoken to,” Sarah said in an interview with Mirror. Ronaldo asked me if I wanted to come and meet his family. “I am a good father,” he said. “I never said you were a bad father,” I replied.

Then Ronaldo said, “I had a terrible childhood, I lost my father.” I said, “Everyone has a heartbreaking story. I lost my father at a young age and survived cancer myself.” However, he never called Jake by name, he just said “boy”.

“I know the boy is in trouble. I replied: “He has no problems – he is disabled. But you have problems,” Ronaldo said.

It made me angry, I was angry, my heart was beating wildly. I said to Ronaldo: “So you hit my son on the arm, you hurt him, but you didn’t do anything wrong?”

He said ‘I’m sorry’ but then he said ‘I didn’t do anything wrong’. Kelly stressed that he “didn’t kick or kill anyone.”

Recall that Manchester United did not impose any sanctions against the Portuguese striker – the leadership of the “Red Devils” was pleased with the apologies that the striker made on social networks.

Sarah Kelly wrapped her story with threats against Cristiano stating that it was in her best interests not to have this incident in the media or in court.

“He said he had a good team of lawyers, that he would win the case and fight me to the end. He said he knew how to manage the media,” said the injured boy’s mother.

Threats, theft accusations and fear of leaving the house from Manchester United fans

Kelly began receiving threats from Red Devils fans after a video showing the incident got into the media.

“Many United fans said my son stole the phone that allegedly smashed Ronaldo. It was disgusting. My son has a heart of gold,” said Sarah Kelly. – I’m afraid to leave the house, I always look over my shoulder. We were portrayed as the guilty and Ronaldo as the innocent victim.

I just kept quiet when I found out that he had received a warning from the police. It’s like a slap in the face and a complete injustice to me. It’s a complete nightmare.”

When we spoke on the phone it made me think I was doing something wrong. He gassed me. I couldn’t stop crying,” Sarah said.

To protect her own interests and those of her son, Kelly filed a complaint with law enforcement.

“The police investigation started where I witnessed it. I was scared and angry because Ronaldo was given my number. I’m incredibly disgusted that he didn’t hurt her in any way. Didn’t even buy my son a new phone. By the way, internet trolls have made my life hell,” Kelly concluded.

After the publication of the broadcast, Sarah did not abandon her plans, planning to sue the Portuguese actress. If Ronaldo manages to switch clubs before the summer transfer window ends, it will take longer for the case to be heard again, so the public won’t know the outcome of this story anytime soon.
