Cristiano Ronaldo has published an eight-point statement that he said Portugal coach Jorge Jesus was supposed to deliver at a press conference. The footballer said the document had been agreed with him in advance and given to the coach, but Jesus did not read it at the news conference.
Ronaldo said in his post that Jesus had proposed a plan for his involvement with the national team this season, which the player accepted. He said he had never questioned the coach’s ability and had behaved professionally. Although the match against Norway was not initially part of the plan, Jesus said Ronaldo could play after seeing that his physical condition had improved, and Ronaldo agreed, according to the player.
The most notable point in the text says the coach should admit he made a mistake by asking a player “at the level of Pele or Maradona” to warm up and then not bringing him on. It also says Jesus would have made a different decision in those circumstances.
Other points say the coach wanted Ronaldo in the national team, that the player had had a positive impact on Portugal over 24 years, and that any dissatisfaction with the fans stemmed from a moment of disappointment. Ronaldo said in the notes he shared that they did not state that Jesus should apologize to him.
