🚨💣 JUST IN: Raúl Asencio’s camp are ANGRY with Real Madrid’s medical services.
They believe that the decision to give the green light to undergo surgery on an injury he has been suffering from for 9 months took TOO LONG and happened in the WORST POSSIBLE TIME.
Asencio’s problems began in JANUARY, the club’s medical team then chose ‘minimally invasive treatment’ which did NOT work.
The player then wanted to undergo surgery in the summer, but the medical team told him that it is NOT an appropriate time for a surgery, and that the correct plan is to rest and undergo rehabilitation. The 2nd plan clearly did NOT work too.
After Asencio relapsed in August, Real Madrid’s medical services finally gave the green light for a surgery.
The player is AFFECTED by this as the surgery will make him miss a lot of potential opportunities to convince José Mourinho, which he believes he could have achieved. @marca
The official Portugal national team Instagram account has lost 8 million followers in less that 12 hours after Ronaldo announced his retirement from the team.
“Patient Zero” debuts with 4,512,677 views in its first day on YouTube. It's one of biggest openings of the year surpassing “The Cure”, “Stupid Song” and “Hate That I Made You Love Me”.
🚨 CONFIRMED: Cristiano Ronaldo NEVER asked to play EVERY game for Portugal.
The agreement was he would play 2/4 games this break and he agreed to this without problem.
The issue was Jorge Jesus then saying he’s going to play in the next two games and then changing his mind.
Cristiano felt used and disrespected by the Federation who asked him NOT to retire and promised full respect until 2027. @marca
🚨🚨🚨 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.
