Gio CR7 summarized the remarks of a man who, according to him, had confirmed that Jorge Jesus had promised him apologies without actually presenting them. He had apologized to his teammates for leaving training and, as captain, had asked the federation to sanction him, adding that he would understand this decision. Gio CR7 also wrote that the man had mentioned future farewell matches. After the FPF talked about "sublime" farewell matches, he reportedly stated that he would return if he was in shape, but to play competitively, and that retirement from international duty was not an option for the moment. #Football #Sport #Joueur (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)

Actu Foot relayed a text presented as a statement from Cristiano Ronaldo, in which the player explained the exchanges he claimed to have had with the Portuguese coach before the last gathering. Ronaldo stated that after the 2026 World Cup, he had prepared a letter intended for the Portuguese to announce his definitive departure from the national team. According to him, the president of the Portuguese Football Federation (FPF) had then urged him, during the return flight from the United States, to reconsider his decision. The president had also asked his opinion on the current coach, whom Ronaldo claimed to have supported the appointment of. The player recounted that the coach had proposed that he play in the first and last match, while considering that he would not travel to Norway and Denmark. Ronaldo said he had refused, believing that his role as captain required him to travel with the team. He added that Simão Coutinho, sporting director of Al-Nassr, had witnessed their exchange. The day before the gathering, the coach reportedly came to his home in Lisbon, and the principles discussed in August would have been maintained. Ronaldo indicated that he had played at Alvalade before giving up his place without protest and passing the armband to Bruno Fernandes. For the match in Norway, he said he expected not to play, with his next match scheduled for the 4th at Dragão. He recounted that an assistant had then informed him that the coach wanted to speak with him, and then the coach had asked him if he could play for thirty minutes. Ronaldo claimed to have agreed and was invited to be ready. #CristianoRonaldo #EquipeNationale #Football (translated)

KC ZE1SH recounted the journey of his team over the past few months. He explained that he did not think, five months ago, that they could reach this level, particularly because the group was, in his opinion, struggling mentally. At that time, he believed that progressing from the top 12 to qualifying for the playoffs would already have been a great achievement. The coach thanked the club for trusting him and funding a training trip, which he described as a turning point. The qualification for the EWC, despite being eliminated in the group stage against PRX and NRG, later gave him confidence in his methods and vision for the game. He said the team approached split 2 with good training, then qualified for the Champions and won a trophy. KC ZE1SH indicated that the team arrived early at the bootcamp before the Champions in China. With Youenn, he had established protocols in Berlin to help the players adjust their sleep to the time difference. However, he reported that illnesses and accumulated fatigue had hindered their preparation, and the team seemed less sharp to him than in stage 2. He also confided that qualifying for the Champions had been good for him after a difficult period mentally. He had lost 8 kg, he wrote, before regaining it at the beginning of the 2026 season. His goal as a coach was, in his opinion, to help the players grow both in the game and as individuals, and he believed they emerged stronger from this experience. #Esport #Coaching #Équipe (translated)
