Cristiano Ronaldo Portugal national team

THIS NEWS EXCITED US ALL! While everyone is preparing for Lionel Messi's farewell match with Argentina. Cristiano Ronaldo has just confirmed that he will not retire from the Portugal National Team. The 41-year-old Portuguese forward wrote a letter in which he explained everything. It is worth reading it in full; here we leave you a small summary. First, he mentioned that he thought about retiring from Portugal: after the 2026 World Cup, he had prepared his farewell, but the Federation asked him to continue. Cristiano supported the arrival of Jorge Jesus, and both agreed on a plan to manage his minutes and take care of his physical condition. He rejected privileges like captaincy, although he would not play some matches; he refused to stay in Portugal and decided to accompany the team. The conflict began in Norway, when the coach promised him 30 minutes, Cristiano warmed up, but finally did not play; he considered this the first broken promise. Trust was completely broken when Jorge Jesus broke his word again during a press conference, so he decided to leave the concentration camp. He also apologized to his teammates and accepted being sanctioned. Most importantly, he is not retiring from Portugal. After serving his sanction, if he is fit and playing well with his club, he will remain available to compete and win with the Portuguese national team. And he closed with these words: "When I think about the national team, what really comes to my mind is competing. That is what I was thinking the day I received the news of my father's death. I was at a concentration with our national team and decided at that very moment to stay until the next day's match ended. I did it for my country, something I would never do for any club. This is, believe me, the absolute truth". WE ALL BELIEVE CRISTIANO RONALDO.
