A Portuguese fan places a billboard supporting Ronaldo and criticizing Jesus in front of the Federation headquarters

A Portuguese fan sponsored the placement of a huge billboard in front of the headquarters of the Portuguese Football Federation in the capital, Lisbon. To support the star Cristiano Ronaldo.

The painting, which was prepared using artificial intelligence, showed a picture of Ronaldo next to a picture of the Portuguese national team coach, Jorge Jesus.

Next to a picture of Ronaldo, it read: “Thank you, Cristiano Ronaldo, for everything you have given to Portugal.” "You will remain our leader forever."

On the other hand, the painting criticized Jesus, saying: “George Jesus was not up to the responsibility,” and described him as having an “inflated ego.”

The billboard was quickly removed.

Ronaldo had left the Portuguese national team camp after Jesus left him on the bench, during the European Nations League match against Norway, last Sunday.

The player said, in a statement he issued earlier this week: “At the appropriate time, I will tell the Portuguese people the truth about the reasons that prompted me to leave the national team, which I have always dedicated myself to serving.”

Fernando Maya, the fan who placed the plaque, said that he owns an outdoor advertising company, stressing that he has no connection to Ronaldo.

The newspaper “A Bola” quoted Maya as saying to Radio Observador: “I do not know Ronaldo, and I do not know anyone close to him. “I know myself, I know something called gratitude, and I do not ignore people who have been and continue to be useful to Portugal.”

He added: “Jorge Jesus was just a means for this to happen, but there are more officials.”

Maya pledged to display the same billboard in front of the Dragao Stadium, whose stadium will host Portugal's next match against Norway in the European Nations League, on Sunday.
