Let the press write whatever they like. The point is he should play his part. For this matter, he has no excuse.
I agree with you.

You mentioned he was holidaying. Anyways, the reason is not excusable, it doesn't make sense. If Ronaldo wasn't the Captain that would have been a different case. Team mates, captain, coach, FA representative etc must be available for the family or who else will if this core persons that revolves around Jota's short but impressive life are not there to stand by them.
So it's all team mates that are there right. I didn't even see Portugal national coach Martinez. What about that?

Did he mention phobia of leading? I don't get you. To be a captain, leader or head of a corporation you think say na moi moi. You will pick up calls at the middle of the night while all your members are sleeping, you will go to police station to bail members and write statement, you will go to motuary even to identify body in cases where the family members of a dead team member can't be reached, you think say na to wear captain band up n Dan, or to be leader for mouth.
Shebi if I am unavoidable absent they'll force to be there abi?

What other reason? That his appearance will distract the funeral.... That his reason is silly and selfish. His he the only big star? Even if paparazzi and all, can't he do his bid and leave immediately Jota is lowered. That excuse makes no sense.

Again now is a superstar, not like 2005 when he was still up coming.... Is another of his silly reason. 2005, over 20 years ago, he should be wiser and know that as a captain there are certain moral obligations attached to your role. Never be caught off guard, especially by the press. What Ronaldo just did will not be forgotten easily.
I'm putting to you now, gather all the football stars there, they won't generate traffic and paparazzi Ronaldo alone will bring.
I'm not talking about this issue again

Not by force, but a responsibility as captain. There are certain things we do in life that isn't mandatory but because of our responsibility we just have to be available. To be a captain of a national team is not for show, it's for guidance, support, etc.
True and I quite frankly agree with you

Thank you for saying it as it is. Apart from traumatized, Ronaldo I know will break down in tears cus he can't handle his emotions and that will give the media food for writing about him and focusing on him
He cries and becomes emotional just from losing an important match not to talk of a team mate he loved so much. Like you said, some photographers will attend the funeral just to capture his mood to be used as memes

Where they friends? Did they know each other?

Did they ever talk or communicate?
So teammates on a national team will not know each other, talk or communicate even if they are not friends.

See them. The "I own nobody anything" camp.

CR7 is the national team captain for goodness sakes. That's too insensitive. It would cost him literally nothing flying from and back to his vacation for the one day event. Just pay the last respect and show solidarity with other team members.

The citizens of Portugal are right to condemn him.

The narcissist even said he doesn't want it to be about him. What a silly excuse. There were many stars at the burial from Liverpool, nobody gave a f about them. Two blood brothers, two footballers from your f country died just like that, burnt to ashes and you made the burial all about you. Damn!
Let’s learn to respect people’s decisions. You keep proving the guy right and this is exactly what he’s avoiding. If I was Jota’s family member right now, I would be so mad and pissed about how the media have shifted attention away from the deceased persons while focusing on Ronaldo because it’s actually very annoying and more like suggesting that the dead were nobodies; they died and instead of being celebrated and given their deserved last respect, its another person that is still being made the center of attention like the dead persons were some nonentities.
Does he attend funerals and just decided to not attend this particular one or he just doesn’t attend funerals at all?
If he had been attending funerals and decided to not attend this, then you have a valid argument but dude just doesn’t attend funerals and has given his reasons multiple times.
Have you ever seen him at a funeral before? Why not respect his decision? He said he doesn’t do it due to a trauma he’s suffering from, why is that so hard to comprehend?

Whats with you and this traffic and paparazzi stuff? Who cares? The fact remains that this act of Ronaldo did not go down well with fans and it will hunt him for a long time. He had just one simple task everyone expected him to do as a captain, spend less than 2 hours with the bereaved just to show support, but no he opted to be in a yacht at the time Jota was being lowered to the ground. If you like talk, if you like don't talk, Ronaldo has failed to live up to the expectations of a leader as far as this funeral is concerned.

Are you sure you followed this event? Martinez words after the funeral:

“Today was a day that we showed that we are a very, very large but close family, We are Portugal … we are together and we will always be together.” Coming from their Spanish coach.

This funeral was a call to duty for CR7 as captain, as far as he wasn't in a dire situation, he has no excuse not to be at Jota's funeral.
