Is Ronaldo the main culprit in this disgraceful drama? No no no!

What will be remembered about Cristiano Ronaldo? How he warms up in vain in the second half against Norway, waits for a signal from his coach as the game progresses and then hears the final whistle without having achieved anything? How he gets into the team bus with a bitter expression and timidly waves to the fans again? Or how he steps up to the private plane in frustration, angrily turns his back on the Portuguese national team and comes across like a deserter?

Everything, absolutely everything in this case is unworthy. There is a trainer, his name is Jorge Jesus. 72 years old. Before the crash, he had contradicted himself at almost every appearance. Sometimes he gave Ronaldo “a special status”, sometimes he called him a “player like any other”. No national coach before him has moderated the constant topic of Ronaldo more clumsily and vaguely than him.
