The crisis is far from over. After the controversy surrounding Cristiano Ronaldo during Portugal’s last rally, reactions have multiplied. If some criticized the attitude of the 41-year-old striker, others came to his defense by denouncing Jorge Jesus’ lack of consideration towards him. In this tense context, a return to the selection seems increasingly complicated, despite the desire displayed by the five-time Ballon d’Or to remain available in the event of a new call-up.
But CR7’s sister, Elma Aveiro, is much less optimistic. Present this Wednesday in Lisbon for the launch of a book, which was also attended by Jorge Jesus, she was questioned about her brother’s international future. “It’s more no than yes”she replied to the local press. “I think both of them are injured. For the moment, it is a stalled situation. We’ll see what happens. »
Asked about the chances of reconciliation between the two men, the businesswoman did not hide her doubts. “I don’t know, it’s very complicated. When you suffer a betrayal, it is very difficult to return to normal”she estimated.
“The Portuguese forget what has already been accomplished”
Elma Aveiro also expressed her sorrow at the situation experienced by her brother. “I am speechless. It’s very hard to see my brother go through such an ordeal. He’s probably one of the people who least deserves this.”she confided, a few days after their mother first took a stand in favor of the former Real Madrid player.
Finally, Cristiano Ronaldo’s sister broadened her remarks to the attitude of the Portuguese public towards the star. “I feel sad, because the Portuguese unfortunately forget what has already been accomplished and now believe that things should be done differently”she regretted.
