Ronaldo is conciliatory under the direction of Jorge Jesus
Aware of fueling the debates at every international gathering, Cristiano Ronaldo arrived on tiptoe for Portugal’s training camp, as the national team faces Wales in the Nations League. He made this appearance after the departure of Roberto Martinez, replaced by the veteran Jorge Jesus.
Ronaldo confirms his availability without making a fuss
The all‑time top scorer for national teams said: “I am at the disposal of the Mister (Jorge Jesus, the manager): to play, to come on, to be substituted, I am available for everything.” He added that he does not intend to play the full 90 minutes of the four scheduled matches.
Clearly hurt by the criticism, CR7 clarified: “If the Mister or the president no longer count on me, I could leave as early as today. The day they think I am no longer useful, that I create a bad atmosphere, I will pack my bags and leave, there is no problem.”
He nevertheless emphasized his attachment to the Federation, stating that he will continue to support the team in another way if necessary.
These statements come as all eyes remain fixed on the five‑time Ballon d’Or winner, whose pride in wearing the national shirt remains intact despite the years.
