𝐂𝐑𝐈𝐒𝐓𝐈𝐀𝐍𝐎 𝐈𝐒 𝑵𝑶𝑻 𝐑𝐄𝐓𝐈𝐑𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐅𝐑𝐎𝐌 𝐏𝐎𝐑𝐓𝐔𝐆𝐀𝐋 — 𝐒𝐄𝐓 𝐓𝐎 𝐂𝐎𝐍𝐓𝐈𝐍𝐔𝐄!

Official statement released by 𝐂𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐨 𝐑𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐝𝐨

"As promised, I want to explain directly what happened at the last national team camp”.
⠀
•After the World Cup, the FPF President insisted I reconsider leaving and asked my opinion on the current coach. I said he would be the right choice”.
⠀
“In August, the coach told me I was fundamental to his project: I'd play the first and last games. He suggested I skip the away trips, but I refused: a captain doesn't stay home. Simão Coutinho witnessed it”.
⠀
“On the day of the Norway game, he asked if I was ready to play 30 minutes. It wasn't in the plan, but I said yes. I warmed up from half-time and was never called upon. He had broken his word. Not greeting the fans afterwards was my fault, and I apologise”.
⠀
“48 hours later, with Coutinho present, we agreed he would tell the truth in the press room: the plan was his, I never asked for minutes, and making me warm up without playing was a mistake. He asked me for a hug and promised. I approved a short document with those notes”.
⠀
“That morning I had told the President and the coach: if you don't want me, just tell me. Both said no”.
⠀
“The press conference had nothing to do with what we agreed. I heard an aggression I did not deserve. It was the second time he broke his word”.
⠀
“In almost 25 years I have never interfered in a technical decision. But when my word is broken, my place is not there”.
⠀
“I apologise to my teammates for leaving. The responsibility is mine alone. The FPF should punish me with no mitigating circumstances; as captain, that's an aggravating factor”.
⠀
“There are talks of farewell games. But I learned, when I was hungry, that nobody gives anything to anyone. The national team, for me, means competing”.

“When my father died, I stayed until the next match was over. I did that for my country”.
⠀
“If I'm fit, after my suspension, I'll be available, as always, to compete and win for Portugal”.
⠀
“This is the absolute truth”.

Please if it is the right time to retire, please retire. Do not over-stay your welcome.

For Ronaldo, you have built legacy: but If you over-stay, it may spoil many things.

For him pocket. If you like play till you can't walk, messi is your Superior no world cup for you

Ororo abeg retire once and for all

I think someone advised him that a person of his level should not just leave the country football scene in that manner

A goat is not fully a goat if he hasn’t won the World Cup

Ref, give me penalty pls, give me penalty pls.

Oga retire and stop being egocentric

I know very little about football, but one thing I am certain of is that Cristiano Ronaldo loves controversy and appears to thrive on it.

Oga you dey go naaaaa


His girlfriend and kids must be going though quite a lot with him

Maybe, just maybe, Christie should consider psychiatric evaluation

The way he is going, he may even sue the Portugal FA and the Coach for not including him in the National Squad

Apology accepted.

Meanwhile, Messi just scored his last goal for Argentina and assisting twice.

E don do baba. Give the younger ones a chance to compete too!

Better retire now before other players use you shine for future matches..

Maturity, this is taking responsibility

Blessings bro. Thank you

Wetin dey worry this one?

SadiqBabaSani:
Maturity, this is taking responsibility

Maturity is giving way to the young, just as others gave way for him ....

Why did you remove the part where he gave the coach 8 points to mention at the prezzie conference?

Arrogant man-child

you don try...go rest. let the other younger players take the front seat. Let messi be your role model.....

No matter what, he should retire honourably.

E nor make sense if he just leave the scene with this issue.

Ronaldo is just looking forward to dishonour. He has already made his mark and created a record that will not be easily broken in foreseeable future in Portuguese and world football. All he needs is just a testimonial match and bow out Honorably like Messi did. He does have the agility, but the goal prowess is no longer there

i think the players and the coach dont really like him in the team that much but nobody have the balls to say it to him im s big ronaldo fan though

Ronaldo is a minus to portugal

Am a cr7 fan but the guy don dey over do He has enough already, he should give chance to others

chatinent:
Ref, give me penalty pls, give me penalty pls.

You are insulting someone that will buy all your generations and ancestors from the beginning of time

The Demigod- His Excellency, President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu (GCFR) will always say

“A good dancer knows when to leave the stage when the ovation is loudest.”

This boy is just too humble

This guy will end up going to the 2030 World cup just to clinch that 1000 goal mark, to satisfy his ego since Messi already beat him to every other stat

Portugal are doing better without you , bro . Leave when the ovation is still loud .

Meaningless.
I don't appreciate delulus monetizing everything.
