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 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)

Masian added that it was not surprising that Jesus did not seek to appear servile during the press conference and wondered if CR7 knew that the jokes surrounding Homelander were originally just jokes. #CR7 #Football #Humour (translated)

Masian wrote that the Croats wanted to erase their 7-0 defeat against England and approached the match with much more aggression than the Spaniards. He hoped that the Barça players would quickly exit the match, believing that their opponents saw it as a World Cup final. #Football #CDM #Croatie (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)
