Ronaldo Discusses Dispute with Jesus and Leaving Portugal Squad
Cristiano Ronaldo issued an official statement regarding his dispute with the Portuguese national team coach, Jorge Jesus, which led to his departure from the team's camp before the Denmark match. He explained that he was about to announce his retirement from international football after the 2026 World Cup but agreed to lead the team under Jesus's management, a decision he was not comfortable with, especially given disagreements over how he was treated during training sessions and matches. He expressed his disappointment with the coach's statements that contradicted their agreement for him to be present and with the changed approach toward him, which prompted his decision to leave in protest of what he saw as a lack of respect for his commitments. He reaffirmed his desire to have a proper farewell match to mark his time with the national team. While emphasizing his personal responsibility in the past and his respect for the rules, he also requested to be disciplined in a manner appropriate to his position as team captain.
