FIFA 19 Eliminate Cristiano Ronaldo from his new cover - Ultimate Guide

After the problems with justice that Cristiano Ronaldo has had in recent months, it seems that the player of the Juventus team and the Portuguese national team is now having some problems with his image on the cover of the game FIFA 19 of EA Sports, all because of those legal problems.

 

Cristiano Ronaldo has stopped being the star of the cover of the soccer simulator game, sudden decision on the part of the company and that in turn is very strange, because in the past EA never in the middle of the season had made a change in the cover of a FIFA, something that started many speculations, and more when the company made that decision without explanations.

The Juventus player before appeared on the cover and in the main menus of the game, but five months after FIFA 19 came out, CR7 has disappeared from both in the digital version, because it is still the only protagonist of the cover in the physical version.

 

The company eliminated Cristiano Ronaldo from its virtual entrails of FIFA 19, leaving aside the option of placing a single player at the start of the session and the main menu, being better oriented by choosing three players that will be the new cover and official image of FIFA Ultimate Team 2019: Kevin de Bruyne (Juventus), Paulo Dybala (Manchester City) and Neymar Jr. (Paris Saint-Germain). On the other hand, Alex Morgan, star of American women's football has also received a place in the menu of the game.

The Portuguese has had a few months full of controversy, since, in October 2018, EA made it clear that he was very aware of everything related to the player, due to the rape accusations of Kathryn Mayorga, who assured that Cristiano Ronaldo had Assaulted in Las Vegas in 2009, although the defendant denied everything and said it was "false news".

 

Las Vegas police in January sent Italy a request to obtain a DNA sample from CR7, so the Portuguese lawyer told CNN on January 10:

"Mr. Ronaldo has always maintained, as he does today, that what happened in Las Vegas in 2009 was of a consensual nature, so it is not surprising that DNA is present, nor that the police make this request as standard as part of their investigation. "

 

To make matters worse, on January 22 Cristiano Ronaldo in a Madrid court closed an agreement on charges of tax evasion, which included a prison sentence of 23 months, but as in Spain the convicts do not meet two-year sentences , the soccer player did not have to go to jail, according to the BBC. However, CR7 accepted a fine of € 18.8 million (£ 16.6 million).

So far, Electronic Arts and EA Sports have not given any statement of the official reason for this decision to remove Cristiano Ronaldo as the image of FIFA 19. The truth is that the motive may have to do with controversies in which the The player has been submerged or it may be an advertising strategy that allows the company to aggressively promote the FIFA Ultimate Team 19.
