MOSCOW, October 6 - RIA Novosti. Striker and captain of the Portuguese national football team Cristiano Ronaldo said that he does not intend to end his career in the national team, reports A Bola.
In his open letter, Ronaldo accused Portuguese head coach Jorge Jesus of breaking promises, but admitted that he should not have left the training camp.
"I must apologize to my teammates for leaving the training camp. Despite the absolute loss of confidence in the word of the head coach of the national team - as those who were present during these conversations can testify - I should not have done this. The responsibility lies solely with me. I apologize to the Portuguese again, but breaking my word is of decisive importance for me. I felt that from now on my stay there would only harm the work team, and I did what I always said that I’ll do it if I don’t feel useful: I took my suitcases and left,” Ronaldo wrote.
The footballer noted that he deserves punishment from the Portuguese Football Federation without mitigating circumstances: “I am not an ordinary player, I am the captain of the team, and this is an aggravating circumstance. I have already apologized, but I know that actions must have consequences. Those who, like me, are in football, know that regardless of the status of each, the rules are the same for everyone.”
Ronaldo noted that he would be ready to return to the national team: “If I am physically okay, I will play for my club, with goals, hopefully, after serving the disqualification imposed on me, I will be available, as I always was until today, to compete and win for our team,” Ronaldo emphasized.
