Portugal captain, Cristiano Ronaldo has revealed that he told South Korean forward, Cho Gue Sung to shut up during their World Cup last group game on Friday.

Both players had a brief spat during the game as the Korean tried to hurry the Portuguese superstar off the pitch.

The game was still on 1-1 when Ronaldo was substituted in the 65 minute, but the Asians came from behind to win 2-1, with both teams qualifying for the last 16 of the World Cup as a result.

The Asian side wanted to score a second goal to ensure them a second place finish in the group, so Cho was keen to hurry the superstar forward off the pitch.

And while doing so, there was a minor altercation between them, with Ronaldo explaining: “Before my substitution, one of their players was telling me to leave quickly.
