"There will still be time for the farewell match." CR7 broke the silence

Cristiano Ronaldo released a long statement to the Portuguese media on Tuesday in which he said he had agreed to limit his playing time and expected the coach to publicly explain the situation and take responsibility for it. Instead, he noted, coach Jorge Jesus made aggressive comments at the press conference, which led to a loss of trust.

However, the footballer is convinced that he will play in the national team again. "I can promise all my fans, especially all the Portuguese, that there will still be time for a farewell match or matches," he assured.

CR7 left the Portugal national team training camp

Cristiano Ronaldo left Portugal's training camp after failing to play in the Nations League win over Norway and learning that he would not be in the starting lineup for the match against Denmark.

The defending champions Portugal won without their leader 4-2 in Denmark, and then defeated Norway again on Sunday. They collected all points after four rounds in group A4 and secured their place in the quarterfinals.

After these matches, Jorge Jesus stated that CR7 could return to the national team if he wanted.

Representative record holder

Cristiano Ronaldo has so far played for the national team 234 times, scoring 146 goals. He is a record holder in both statistics - not only in Portuguese, but also in world football.
