In Portugal they take for granted the withdrawal of Cristiano’s national team
It will take a while for this national team break to be forgotten in Portuguese lands, longer than usual and which has had the total outbreak of the ‘Cristiano Ronaldo case‘, the greatest legend of the national team.
After a few days of tension he came out Jorge Jesus to a press conference prior to the duel against Denmark and far from calming things down, it did quite the opposite. At 72 years old, he has characterized himself as a coach by never shutting up and he didn’t do it against CR7 either. He assured that there was no case and everything was fine, but he reiterated several times that he rules over any player and that nothing would make him change his way of seeing things. Some words that did not sit well with the Madeira player.
Shortly after, CR7 did not train with his teammates and decided to make the decision to leave the national team. A decision made in a very short period of time and surely more emotional than rational, but one that ‘O’Jogo’ assures is definitive. That is to say, taking into account the 41 years of the ‘bug’ against Wales he played his last game.
The aforementioned media speaks of a decision made and irreversible, although in this matter of football you never know. Next week in Argentina they will say goodbye to Leo Messi with honors, as he deserves. Maybe the Portuguese will see that and try with or without Jorge Jesus for a finish on par with Cristiano’s career.
