Ronaldo’s wife: “Brazil is a country to be disgusted by”

Ronaldo’s bid to become the next president of the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) had looked promising. The former Real Madrid and Barcelona striker had hoped to unite the country and help Brazil return to the top of international soccer after some difficult years. However, his goal was thwarted when he failed to receive the expected support to run in the upcoming elections to replace the current president, Ednaldo Rodrigues.

After announcing his withdrawal from the race to become the CBF’s top official in the next term, there have been numerous reactions to the former footballer’s decision.

“Corruption continues” as Ronaldo withdraws presidential bid

One of the most notable came from his wife, Celina Locks, who harshly criticized the CBF on social media. In an Instagram story, the model and businesswoman offered her view that “Brazil is a country to be disgusted by,” and posted an image with the Brazilian crest that read “Corruption continues.”

Locks, born in the southern Brazilian city of Curitiba, spoke out after Ronaldo publicly revealed that he had not received support from the state federations, explaining that 23 of the 27 federations refused to even meet with him. As a result, Ednaldo Rodrigues is now poised to continue as the president of the CBF.
