We can’t blame Ronaldo and Pogba for press conference actions – NFF chief Akinwunmi

The Portugal and France stars have got people talking after they removed bottles of commercial brands before talking to the press

The first Vice-president of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) Seyi Akinwunmi has stated Cristiano Ronaldo and Paul Pogba should not be blamed for their press conference actions if there are no commercial rules at Euro 2020.

Ronaldo and Pogba have dominated social media with their reactions at separate press conferences, where they removed branded items of sponsors before talking to the media.

Before scoring a brace in Portugal's 3-0 victory over Hungary, Ronaldo removed two bottles of Coca-Cola from his table and raised a bottle of water instead.
