Cristiano Ronaldo leaves the Portuguese selection camp in the middle of the international break

By pushing the envelope a little too far, has Cristiano Ronaldo spoiled the end of a 23-year-old love affair with Portugal? The legend of Madeira, who had decided to return for one more season in the selection despite the evidence, left the Portuguese selection training camp in the middle of the international break, even though his coach, always good at covering for him, had indicated a few minutes earlier that CR7 was expected in training!

A drama like we don't do anymore

The rumor quickly spread in the Portuguese media, until the player himself confirmed on his social networks:

“After the press conference of the national team coach, and following a conversation with the president of the Portuguese Football Federation, I decided to leave the training camp. In due time, I will tell the truth to all Portuguese people about the reasons that motivated me to leave the national team, to which I have always dedicated myself. It’s time to wish good luck to Portugal and to all my teammates, without exception.” »

An almost predictable bloodshed, while the sequence had become embarrassing for everyone, Ronaldo in the first place. The star had taken it badly not to come into play against Norway at the start of the week, and the fire was smoldering so strongly that Pedro Proença, the president of the federation, had taken the fissa plane to try to play mediator between the great helmsman Cristiano and his humble servant Jorge Jesus, also coach of CR7 in Saudi Arabia in recent months.

Jorge Jesus looks like an idiot

A common experience, which, it was thought, would be enough to resolve the misunderstanding between the two men. Jorge Jesus seemed confident, in this case, when he gave two questions to journalists during his press conference today, on the eve of the match against Denmark.

“There were no incidents and he did not refuse to train. Cris did some work in the gym. After mobilization on the ground, he did reinforcement work at the hotel. And today (Thursday) he is going to train, because it is the fourth day. He did not refuse to train. That would be impossible. Do you believe it? It's not Cris. Do you think an international level player would refuse? In Portugal, no one refuses to train. » »
