The Cristiano Ronaldo psychodrama marked this first international window of the season. Against a backdrop of conflict with his coach Jorge Jesus, the five-time Ballon d’Or winner decided to abruptly leave the Portuguese gathering after the match against Norway.
Sent to warm up for more than 30 minutes, the Portuguese captain never came into play. Very annoyed, CR7 accused Jorge Jesus of having broken their agreement on his playing time and of not having respected his word. A version contested by the Lusitano technician.
And while he had not yet received public support from his teammates in the selection, Cristiano Ronaldo received a beautiful message from Antonio Silva. After Bournemouth’s defeat against Chelsea, the Cherries defender proclaimed his admiration for the former Madrilenian.
“For me, he is the GOAT”
“The times spent with him were great. I grew up watching him play for Real Madrid and training alongside him on a daily basis has been a very enriching experience.”declared the young 22-year-old Portuguese in comments reported by Foot Mercato.
And to add: “For me he is the GOAT, one of the most influential people in the world and an emblematic figure of Portugal. I am very happy to have had the opportunity to play and train with him. » Ronaldo will appreciate it.
