In football there is no time for gratitude. This seems to be the meaning of the post published by Cristiano Ronaldo's sister. Elma Aveiro has expressed herself harshly with words that risk widening the rift created in recent hours between the striker and the national team coach Jorge Jesus. She is against everyone, including in this situation all of Portugal, which she accuses of not deserving an athlete and figure of the caliber of her brother.
CR7's sister publishes a very serious post
If anyone still had doubts about the bad direction things have taken within the Portuguese national team, Elma Aveiro was careful to dispel them. She reshared on her Instagram stories a very strong message from a user to defend Cristiano Ronaldo at all costs, who, according to her, had received a great lack of respect. "CR7 deserved more respect. The national team deserved more structure. Portuguese journalism deserved more competence and less speculation. As for the Portuguese, well... they don't deserve to have the best in anything. We are envious, contemptuous, ignorant and we deserve to return to the mediocrity that we were in football before CR7. Thanks for everything CR7! Deserve more!". A "you said it all" was enough for her to show that it was as if she had written those words herself.
An intervention that came shortly after that from Cristiano Ronaldo himself, who in fact, with what he said and did not say, had already given an answer. An indirect confirmation that after his sudden and unexpected departure from the national team, there could be something "traumatic". He announced that he had spoken to both the coach and the president of the Football Federation and that for the moment he preferred silence, with the desire to tell later "one day" what had happened within the group. Because behind this situation lies a real escalation, culminating today with the words of Jorge Jesus, which were most likely not well received, with the prospect of another exclusion.
What happened between Ronaldo and Jorge Jesus?
If being left out of the squad for the match against Norway had already been a "humiliation" for Ronaldo, the prospect of a repeat against Denmark was not well received. Likewise, the coach's justification, who, although he tried to minimize the situation by denying any possible breakdown in relations, was very harsh, reiterating his leadership and the freedom to activate or not any player. After that statement, Cristiano Ronaldo's choice not to participate in training, as had happened in recent days, and to leave the group in a private plane ready to take him to Spain, caused a lot of commotion. And the "clash" has only just begun. It is reasonable to expect other interventions with harsh tones, waiting for the main protagonist to finally break his "silence".
