CR7 felt betrayed by Jorge Jesus after broken promise

CR7 felt betrayed by Jorge Jesus after broken promise The atmosphere in the Portugal squad was badly shaken this week. According to Spanish journalist Edu Aguirre, from the show El Chiringuito, Cristiano Ronaldo felt betrayed by coach Jorge Jesus after an unfulfilled promise, which ultimately led to the star leaving the Portugal team camp. The disagreement began in the match against Norway, when the No. 7 was sent to warm up for about 30 minutes in the second half but was not brought on by the coach. According to Aguirre, a personal friend of the forward, a meeting was held on Tuesday night (29) to ease the situation, attended by Ronaldo, Jesus and Pedro Proença, president of the Portuguese Football Federation (FPF). At the meeting, the coach reportedly apologized for not handling the situation well and promised that he would publicly admit the mistake during the press conference before the game against Denmark. However, Jorge Jesus’ attitude in front of the journalists was very different from what had been agreed. The coach changed his tone, avoided apologizing, and adopted an authoritative stance, stressing that he is the one in charge of the team and that he would not change his convictions. There was a meeting yesterday, Tuesday night. A meeting between the Federation president, the coach and Cristiano. Jorge Jesus apologizes to Cristiano for making him warm up for 30 minutes and not bringing him on to play. Not only does he apologize in private, but he also says he will apologize publicly, that he will say he made a mistake. That was Jorge Jesus’ promise to Cristiano. For Cristiano Ronaldo, the change in narrative was seen as a betrayal. The player felt that the coach used the spotlight to reaffirm his power and diminish him in front of the group and the press. Angered by the breach of trust, the star decided to leave the Portugal team camp. Jorge Jesus still tried to contain the crisis, going to the airport to try to convince the forward to stay with the squad, but he was ignored. Regarding the episode, Cristiano Ronaldo limited himself to saying that "in due time, he will tell the truth." This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence.
