🚨🎙️ Sir Alex Ferguson on the Cristiano Ronaldo & Portugal Situation 🗣️"I’ve been in this game a long, long time. I’ve managed the biggest clubs, dealt with the greatest talents, and if there is one thing eighty-four years of life and four decades in football teach you, it’s how to handle elite men. I watch what’s happening in that Portugal setup now, and frankly, it saddens me to see such poor management of a legendary figure. You do not bring Cristiano Ronaldo into an international squad, parade him around, and then treat him as if he’s just another young lad you’ve pulled out of the reserve side. If Jorge Jesus knew in his heart he had no intention of using him, then why call him up in the first place? To make a point? That isn't authority—that’s insecurity. Cristiano isn’t a boy starting out. He isn't Yamal, he isn't Endrick—he is Cristiano Ronaldo. I know the boy inside out. I signed him as an eighteen-year-old kid in 2003, and I know the absolute dedication, work ethic, and obsession with winning that runs through his veins. When Jorge selected him at forty-one, he knew fine well what he was getting. Nobody expects a forty-one-year-old to run the channels for ninety minutes or sprint like he did in his prime at Old Trafford. When you have a sportsman of that stature in your squad, you have a duty to manage him with wisdom, tact, and dignity. You don't leave him sitting on the bench simply to prove to the media that you’re the boss. A real manager doesn't need to undermine his star player to prove his own authority. If people have forgotten what Cristiano has done for Portuguese football over the last twenty years, the rest of the world hasn't. That boy carried an entire nation on his shoulders for two decades—the goals, the records, the European Championship, the sheer belief he brought to his country. He elevated Portuguese football to the very top of the global stage. Now, let’s be sensible about this. Cristiano is forty-one. That’s a fact of life, and time catches up with every single one of us. His minutes have to be protected. There will be matches where starting him doesn't make tactical sense. I have no issue with that at all—I had to do the exact same thing with Bryan Robson, Steve Bruce, Ryan Giggs, and Paul Scholes as they entered the final chapters of their careers. They didn't always like it, but they respected it because it was done with honesty and care. There is a world of difference between managing an aging icon with quiet authority and publicly diminishing him. If you need him for twenty minutes to break down a stubborn defense, you prepare his mind for those twenty minutes. You make him feel vital to that specific moment. But you never allow a man's age to blind you to the sheer greatness he still possesses in key moments. Jorge Jesus needs to step back and think very carefully here. In management, you can win a petty argument with a player on Tuesday, and by Saturday you’ve lost the trust of the entire dressing room. Managers come and go, tournaments end, but players never forget how they were treated when the light began to fade. You don't have to give him a guaranteed starter's jersey every match, and no player is ever bigger than the team—I preached that my entire career. But after everything Cristiano Ronaldo has given to Portugal, you treat him with the dignity and respect his sacrifice demands”.

🚨🚨Zinedine Zidane blasts Jorge Jesus over the tension with Cristiano Ronaldo: “I don’t like talking about other coaches’ dressing rooms. Usually I prefer to stay quiet. But some things you feel immediately when you have lived with a player like Cristiano. You cannot call a man of that stature into the squad, take him to the match, warm him up, and then treat him as if he is just another name on the list. That is not managing a team. That is forgetting who is in front of you. Cristiano is 41. Everyone knows that. I knew it when I coached him. His body is not the same. His minutes have to be chosen with intelligence. Nobody serious is asking him to run like he did at 26. That is not the discussion. The discussion is respect. If you select him, it is because you understand what he still represents. Not only the goals. The presence. The demand. The history he carries for Portugal. You do not use that history when it is useful and put it in a drawer when you want to show that the coach decides everything. A coach always decides. That is normal. I decided many times at Madrid who started and who sat. Cristiano accepted it when the relationship was clear. What a player of that level does not accept is being made to look small in public. If you need him for twenty minutes, prepare those twenty minutes. If the game changes and you do not need him, explain it like a man, before, not after he has been running on the touchline. Do not leave a champion standing there so that people understand who is in charge. Everyone already understands who is in charge. I worked with him. I know what he gives a dressing room even when he does not play 90 minutes. I also know what it costs a coach later if a player of that magnitude feels he was used, then discarded, just to make a point. The Nations League will pass. The next match will come. Jorge will prepare another team. Cristiano will remember how he was treated. You do not have to start him every time. You do not have to protect his ego at the expense of the team. But after everything he has given that shirt, you owe him something simple: dignity. A great player can accept being on the bench. He cannot accept being treated as if his name no longer means anything.”

🚨 Pepe on Cristiano Ronaldo leaving the Portugal camp: “When I retired, Cristiano wrote something about me that I will never forget. He said, ‘We won everything there was to win on the pitch, but the biggest achievement is our friendship.’ People probably read it and thought it was just a beautiful retirement message. I knew exactly what he meant. I have known Cristiano long enough to remember when neither of us had anything. Then Madrid came, Champions Leagues came, Portugal came, Euro 2016 came. I have seen him happy. I have seen him furious. I have seen him injured and still wanting to play. So when somebody tells me Cristiano Ronaldo woke up at 41 years old and decided, ‘Today I will destroy everything I spent more than twenty years building with Portugal because I sat on the bench,’ forgive me if I don’t believe the story is that simple. Cristiano can be difficult. So was I. But stupid? No. He knows what Portugal means to his legacy. That’s why this hurts me. Because since I stopped playing, I watch Portugal differently. I see things from outside now. And too often since Fernando Santos left, it feels like we’re managing situations after they’ve already become problems instead of making sure they never become problems. We saw confusion around the team at the World Cup. Now our captain leaves a camp and says one day he will tell the Portuguese people ‘the truth.’ How do we even arrive there? I remember Cristiano once telling me after a difficult Portugal game, ‘Pepe, people think because I complain, I don’t respect decisions.’ I said, ‘Brother, sometimes you complain too much.’ He laughed. Then he said, ‘But tell me the truth first. After that, I can accept anything.’ That’s Cristiano. If you tell him he’s starting, he’ll prepare to start. If you tell him he’s on the bench, he’ll be angry perhaps, but he’ll prepare for the bench. What you cannot do with somebody like him is make him believe one thing and then make him discover another. I don’t know everything that was said in those rooms. Cristiano will speak when he wants to speak. But I know my friend. And when a relationship between Portugal and Cristiano Ronaldo reaches the point where he packs his things, leaves camp and says, ‘One day I’ll tell you the truth,’ I don’t only ask what Cristiano did. I ask how Portugal allowed it to reach that point. Twenty-three years. More than 200 matches. He stayed when we lost. He stayed when we changed coaches. He stayed when people said he was finished. He stayed when younger players began taking his place. At some point, somebody also has to stand by him. Maybe Cristiano’s time with Portugal was always going to end soon. But after everything he gave us, Portugal should have been capable of giving him a better ending than this. That’s not me defending Cristiano Ronaldo the footballer. That’s me standing beside my friend. He did it for me enough times.”

🚨💣 𝐉𝐔𝐒𝐓 𝐈𝐍: Legal expert and former Manchester City adviser Stefan Borson has outlined what comes next for the club. 😳🔵 The chances of overturning the guilty verdict on appeal look very slim. This is not like the old CAS case. The facts have already been decided and the evidence will not be heard all over again. City were found guilty on 114 of the 115 charges after a 12-week hearing in which all the evidence and witnesses were examined in detail. The written decision is expected to run to 500–700 pages and is said to use strong language about the club and its executives. Attempts to stop it being published are unlikely to work. Challenges about the panel’s impartiality or the 22-month wait for the verdict are seen as long shots. Legal costs for both the Premier League and City are thought to be close to £100m. Unlike Chelsea, who cooperated and reached a reduced settlement, City’s total denial from the start means they are unlikely to get much credit when punishment is decided. The sanction hearing will be held in private. All options remain on the table: — Points deduction — Stripping of titles — Relegation — Fine — Transfer ban — Compensation to other clubs — Expulsion from the Premier League
