Actu Foot relayed, via AlbicelesteTalk, a text presented as Lionel Messi's last speech to the Argentine people. The player said he believed the time had come to retire from the national team, after 20 years of fighting for the jersey, and that distancing himself from the selection would hurt him greatly. In this speech, Messi thanked his teammates and the supporters, to whom he attributed an essential part of Argentina's successes. He recalled that the team had won the World Cup, the Copa América, and the Finalissima, and mentioned the dream fulfilled in 2022 of becoming world champions. He also called on Argentinians to continue supporting the national team during difficult times and said he would remain alongside the current players and those who would succeed them.

Behind a screen, the record of absentees is obviously less strict, says Julia, another teacher. #MobilisationLycéenne #Distanciel #Éducation (translated)

Romain Molina wrote that Cristiano Ronaldo's statement largely reiterated what he had explained a few days earlier in a video. He indicated that a document validated by Ronaldo had been sent to Jorge Jesus, so that he would acknowledge in a press conference that he was wrong to warm up a player of the caliber of Pelé or Maradona without bringing him in, and that he would act differently today. Molina added that the Portuguese federation had also exerted pressure in this regard, given the economic interests associated with the player. #Ronaldo #Football #Sport (translated)

Cristiano Ronaldo claimed that the Portuguese coach had proposed a plan for him to participate in international matches, which he accepted. According to him, the plan stipulated that he would play in the first and last match and would not go to Norway or Denmark. However, he had agreed to play 30 minutes in Norway at the coach's request. Ronaldo then reproached the coach for breaking his word. He said they had agreed that the coach would acknowledge in a press conference that he had proposed the plan, that Ronaldo had never asked to play, and that it was wrong of him to make him warm up without putting him in the game. Simão Coutinho, a manager at Al Nassr, had witnessed their exchanges, he specified. Ronaldo felt that the tone of the coach during the press conference was different from that of their private conversation. The Portuguese captain acknowledged that he had been wrong not to greet the supporters after the match and for leaving the gathering. He apologized to them, as well as to his teammates, while explaining that the breach of trust had led him to leave. He also stated that he accepted the Federation's sanction and indicated that he would remain available for the national team after his suspension, provided he was fit and playing for his club. #CristianoRonaldo #ÉquipeNationale #Football (translated)
