Cristiano Ronaldo apologized. For having slammed the door of the Portuguese selection last week, due to lack of time spent on the pitch, the Lusitanian star made amends on Tuesday in a press release. The person concerned said he was ready to take on his responsibilities as captain and accept the upcoming sanction from his federation. While settling accounts with his coach.
CR7 criticizes Jorge Jesus for not having kept his word on at least two occasions during this autumn gathering. New allegations which clearly leave the main person concerned unmoved. Asked by the press this Wednesday morning as he left his home, the 72-year-old technician appeared falsely detached.
“ I read the press releasesays Jorge Jesus, somewhat disillusioned. And now, like every day, I go to the federation to work, to think about the team and the Portuguese selection. I have nothing else to say. » No flashy declaration so nothing to raise controversy… And yet.
A message between the lines?
In Portugal, we can clearly see the implication of the experienced strategist. By saying he thinks about the selection above all else, the former emblematic Benfica coach sends a very clear message to an increasingly controversial Cristiano Ronaldo accused of excessive individualism.
The supporters of the five-time Ballon d’Or on social networks did not fail to interpret the words of the conductor of the Selecçao in this way, against a Jorge Jesus accused of gratuitously humiliating the absolute national icon.
