ESPNRonaldo leaves Portugal camp after coach says he'd be benched again
Coach Jorge Jesus said he was not planning to start Cristiano Ronaldo in Portugal's game against Denmark in the Nations League on Thursday but said there is no feud between the pair.
The Guardian FootballCristiano Ronaldo’s Portugal walkout divides a nation as Jorge Jesus asserts control
Row sparked by head coach’s decision to leave the 41-year-old on the bench has left a great international career at risk of ending in acrimony The drama surrounding Cristiano Ronaldo and the national team has naturally become the biggest story here in Portugal. It led Wednesday evening’s news broadcasts and made the front page of virtually every major newspaper. For some, Ronaldo was right to walk out on the squad days after spending half an hour warming up against Norway without being brought on in an apparent provocation by Jorge Jesus. For others, the forward’s behaviour was intolerable and his departure a matter of time, particularly once he found himself face to face with such a strong-minded head coach. Ronaldo has promised to tell his side of the story soon, and Jesus will speak on Thursday night after the Nations League match in Denmark. A confrontation between these two huge personalities had been simmering in the background. Jesus was inevitably asked in his first press conference with the team in July how his relationship with Ronaldo would work. Jesus, who coached Ronaldo at Al-Nassr, answered categorically.

The Guardian FootballFootball Daily | An impressive new entry for the Cristiano Ronaldo catalogue of petulance
Sign up now! Sign up now! Sign up now? Sign up now! When Jorge Jesus replaced Roberto Martínez, the reverse-alchemist of golden generations, as head coach of the Portugal national team, it was thought his appointment could spell the end of Cristiano Ronaldo’s international career. Aged 41 and having selfishly kiboshed his nation’s otherwise excellent chances of winning several recent major tournaments, Ronaldo promptly materialised for the Nations League opener against Wales, vowing to keep holding Portugal back at least until he’d reached the magic number of 1,000 career goals for club and country. “It doesn’t matter if I play tomorrow,” he honked. Still 21 shy of his tally, Ronaldo failed to put a dent in it during his side’s narrow victory and was an unused substitute in their follow-up win against Norway. Having previously stated that he would have no objections to being “rested” by Jesus, Ronaldo flounced out of the Parken Stadium before training on the eve of Thursday’s game against Denmark, having apparently spent the previous two days sulking in a hotel gym with only some kettlebells and squat racks for company. It’s easy to criticise the Manchester City owners and senior management (albeit that’s no reason not to), but some of us are old enough to remember when they first came in, revolutionised everything and yet they were still getting flak for not respecting the history of the club. However, turning City into a winning machine for more than a decade, letting everyone think they’re a ‘superclub’ but then having it all ripped away, being told afterwards that none of it actually happened and that they would potentially be relegated would be the greatest act of ‘Cityitis’ in history. So, a doff of the cap to the owners and senior management for an act (well, 114 of them) that even surpasses Steve Lomas holding on to the ball in the corner when they desperately needed a goal to avoid relegation because of duff information” – Noble Francis. If we could extend the investigated timeline of impact caused by City’s shenanigans, may I suggest that Manchester United be stripped of their 2024 FA Cup? The reasoning being that if The Irrefutables had not been able to so expensively put together a star ensemble, they would not have been able to beat the more noble and honest clubs of English football on their way to the final, who surely would have given a better showing against a disastrous United, who finished eighth in the league. Instead, United would have faced … checks notes … Chelsea. Oh” – Yannick Woudstra. All this debate regarding what the FA will do in the case of City’s infringements is pointless. True to form it will deduct 10 points from Everton and Forest. Case closed” – Trevor Wastell. This is an extract from our daily football email … Football Daily.
