🚨 José Mourinho blasts Jorge Jesus over the tension with Cristiano Ronaldo:
🗣️ José Mourinho: “I find it insulting to Cristiano Ronaldo that you would call him up for the national team, take him to these games and then treat him like he is just another player you can leave on the bench.
“If you already knew you weren’t going to use him, why call him up?
“Cristiano is not Endrick. He is not Vinícius. He is not Yamal. He is Cristiano Ronaldo. You know exactly what he represents.
“Jorge knew Cristiano was 41 when he selected him. He knew he couldn’t do what 25-year-old Ronaldo could do anymore. Nobody is asking him to play every minute or carry the team for 90 minutes.
“But if you call him because you understand his importance, then you have to manage that importance properly. You don’t suddenly reduce him to a name on the bench just because you want to show everyone that the coach is in charge.
“If Jorge has forgotten what Cristiano has done for Portugal, the world hasn’t forgotten.
“This man has carried Portugal through generations. He has scored the goals, broken the records, won the trophies and kept Portugal competing at the highest level for years.
“And Jorge should also remember what Ronaldo has meant to his own career.
“Cristiano has given him exposure. He has given him international relevance. He has been part of the reason people around the world were watching that team.
“So when you have benefited from someone’s influence, you don’t turn around and treat that person as if he is now an inconvenience.
“Cristiano is 41. Fine. That’s reality.
“His legs are not the same. His minutes have to be managed. There will be games where he shouldn’t start.
“I have no problem with that.
“But there is a massive difference between managing a 41-year-old Cristiano Ronaldo and disrespecting Cristiano Ronaldo because he is 41.
“If you need him for 20 minutes, play him for 20. If you need him for one decisive moment, prepare him for that moment.
“But don’t make the mistake of thinking his age has erased everything he can still give you.
“And Jorge has to be careful because a coach can win an argument with a player today and still lose something much bigger tomorrow.
“The Nations League will finish. The players will return to their clubs. Jorge will move on to the next match.
“But Cristiano will remember how he was treated.
“You don’t have to worship him. You don’t have to guarantee him a starting place.
“But after everything Cristiano Ronaldo has given Portugal, **you owe him respect.
“You don’t bite the fingers that helped feed you.”
🚨🚨🚨 𝗠𝗔𝗝𝗢𝗥 𝗕𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚: Cristiano Ronaldo has LEFT the Portugal camp following Jorge Jesus’ press conference!
‘After everything I gave this shirt, I will not stay where respect is optional.
This is the end of my journey with the Portuguese national team.
To the Portuguese people,
I have worn this jersey since I was a boy. I carried it through nights of glory and nights of pain. I scored for it, I fought for it, I cried for it. I never asked to be treated like a king. I asked only to be treated like a man who has given his life to Portugal.
That respect did not come.
Before the match against Norway, I was told I would not start, but that I would enter the game. I accepted it. I warmed up. I stayed ready. Then the minutes passed, the substitutions came, and my name was never called. After the final whistle, I walked down the tunnel alone. Not because I do not love my teammates. Because I understood, in that moment, what my place had become.
A promise broken is not a tactical decision. It is a message. And I heard it clearly.
I have always said the same thing: the day they no longer count on me, I will be the first to leave. I will not create an atmosphere. I will not sit on the bench as decoration. I will not pretend that silence is professionalism when it is only humiliation dressed as strategy.
To Jorge Jesus: you are the coach. The team is yours. I do not question your right to choose. I question the way a captain of this country was handled after two decades of service. Authority without respect is not leadership. It is just power.
To my teammates: keep going. Win. Be better than we were. This generation has talent I never had at their age. Use it. Do not waste it on politics.
To the fans: you were never the problem. You sang my name when I was 18 and you sang it when I was 41. I will always be one of you. I will always be the first supporter of this national team. That does not change because a coach decided I no longer belonged on the pitch.
I leave with a clear conscience. I leave with 146 goals, with records, with scars, and with love. I do not leave because I cannot play. I leave because I refuse to stay where I am no longer wanted in the only way that matters: on the field, with dignity.’
Thank you, Portugal.
This chapter is closed.
Cristiano Ronaldo.
Happy birthday @carterefe__ 🤞🏽🫶🏽🥹 so happy we crossed paths. You have made my trip in Nigeria one I will never forget. 🇳🇬 we partyyyy tn! And you will win the boxing match 😏🍀
🚨 OFFICIAL: UEFA president Aleksander Čeferin has announced that Manchester City has been stripped off the UEFA Champions League title they won in 2022/2023 and the trophy will be officially awarded to Inter Milan
- “Vinicius is getting fat”, he slimmed down yet they’re saying he was “cloned”
- Vinicius scored a penalty yet they’re complaining it wasn’t well taken 😂
- Vinicius had a better game than Raphinha but guess who “carries Brazil”
- Vinicius laid a sweet pass for Estevao who missed a 1v1 but Vini gets the blame
If you’re a true Vinicius fan and you don’t have a mind of your own, you’ll easily be manipulated on this app, take note🧏🏾♂️
Once again, Until the end Vini 🫶🏾❤️
🚨𝗠𝗔𝗝𝗢𝗥 𝗕𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚: It’s reported that Manchester City paid influencers and Ballon d’Or voters to vote for Rodri, after Vinícius Jr was supposed to be the winner.
Allegedly, City spent a huge extra sum on the campaign but reached a secret agreement so the official story stayed “Rodri won on merit,” and some accounts were paid to push that line.
A hacker who revealed their 115 charges claims they found it.
Ekitike to Szobo🗣️: I will give you physicality 82.
Frimpong🗣️: Bro he’s not that strong.
Ekitike🗣️: it’s not about being strong, he runs everywhere and press more than you.😂
Frimpong 🗣️: my bad!! my bad!!
🗣️ Los niños canteranos de la Juve:
"El REAL MADRID es el mejor, es más fuerte que el BARCELONA."
"El BARCELONA paga a los árbitros."
"La leyenda del BARCELONA es el árbitro."
BRUTAL, todo el MUNDO lo sabe 🤣
🗣️ Savio: “Vinícius Jr. is going through a period harder than ANY he has had at Real Madrid.
But this is NORMAL. All players go through good and bad, it is a part of football.
But, he WILL get through this because he has the talent and ability. We have to wait.”
🚨Paul Scholes on Jude Bellingham after his performance against Spain:
“The way Jude Bellingham is playing, I think it’s time for him to stand on his own. He should stop living under the shadow of anyone at Real Madrid.
We saw what he did at the World Cup… one of the best players there. Yet somehow, people are pushing Kylian Mbappé for the Ballon d’Or while Jude Bellingham is barely being talked about.
Look at what Jude did in his first two seasons at Madrid. He was playing like a striker and a midfielder at the same time, scoring, creating and helping them win trophies. That was the last time Madrid looked like a complete team.
Then someone came in and suddenly everyone forgot about Jude.
Why are Real Madrid struggling when they have a player like Bellingham? Build the team around him. He can score, dribble, create and control games.
Honestly, I blame Madrid. They had a system that was working, then decided to bring someone else in and change everything.”
