— ARTURO VIDAL: "Lo de Cristiano es una VERGÜENZA. Un jugador así como Cristiano está entre los cuatro mejores jugadores de la historia. Cada uno los pondrá primero, segundo, tercero, como quiera. Pero es uno de los mejores de la historia y que salga así de la selección es muy feo. Y más cuando el dio una entrevista, dijo lo que estaba pasando, dijo cuáles eran las opciones y que después el entrenador salga a decir eso… creo que lo deja muy malparado al entrenador. Se equivoca mucho en cómo lo hace".
"A Cristiano hay que cuidarlo, hay que protegerlo. Es un jugador que le ha dado todo a Portugal, que lo puso entre las mejores selecciones del mundo. Un jugador así no puede salir así de la selección. Cristiano está en todo su derecho de hacer lo que él quiera. Porque lo que él le ha hecho al fútbol y a la Selección de Portugal es llevarla a otro nivel. Todo el apoyo a Cristiano. Es extraordinario en lo que hace. Hay entrenadores que no respetan cosas".
Nadie dice que Cristiano Ronaldo tenía que jugar todos los minutos con la Selección de Portugal, pero no se le puede tratar como uno más. Porque nunca será uno más. Las formas, señoras y señores. Las formas siempre serán importantes. Y Jorge Jesús no supo cuidar y gestionar a la máxima leyenda portuguesa de todos los tiempos.
Vidal solo salió a soltar puros factos.
EL REY CHILENO NO SE GUARDÓ NADA.
🚨 Luis Figo on Portugal immediately giving Cristiano Ronaldo’s No.7 to Rafael Leao following his departure:
“I remember Cristiano’s first years with Portugal.
One day after training, some of the older players were talking and Cristiano was still outside doing something with the ball.
I looked over and said, ‘Does this boy ever go inside?’
Someone said, ‘Leave him. He wants to become the best player in the world.’
I laughed.
Cristiano heard us.
He came over and said, ‘Not just the best. I want to do something for Portugal that people remember.’
I told him, ‘Then you’re going to suffer.’
He looked confused.
I said, ‘Playing for your country is different. When things are good, everybody belongs to you. When things are bad, you still have to come back. That’s the deal.’
He said, ‘I’ll always come back.’
I thought about that conversation today.
Because more than twenty years later, Cristiano finally left a Portugal camp, and his number given to Rafael instantly.
And instead of immediately asking why the boy who told us he’d always come back finally decided to walk away, everybody seems in a hurry to show how quickly football can continue without him.
That worries me.
Not because Portugal cannot continue without Cristiano.
Of course it can.
I worry about the 12-year-old Portuguese boy watching.
Maybe Cristiano is the reason he started playing football. Maybe number seven is on the back of every Portugal shirt he’s ever owned.
One day that boy might become the next star.
He might become somebody we haven’t heard of yet.
And when he arrives at the national team, we’ll tell him exactly what we told Cristiano.
‘This shirt is different.’
Sacrifice for it.
Play hurt for it.
Come whenever you’re called.
Put the country before yourself.
But children aren’t stupid. Footballers aren’t either.
Eventually one of them will ask the question nobody wants to hear:
‘What happens when I’ve given Portugal everything?’
That’s why how you treat Cristiano at the end matters.
I remember another conversation with him years later.
By then he wasn’t the skinny boy anymore. He was captain.
I joked, ‘You said you’d do something Portugal would remember. I think they’ve noticed now.’
He laughed and said, ‘I’m not finished.’
That became Cristiano’s relationship with Portugal.
Never finished.
Lose a tournament, come back.
Get criticised, come back.
Get older, come back.
People tell you the next generation is ready, come back.
Until eventually, something happened and he didn’t come back.
He packed his things and left.
Then he told the Portuguese people that one day he would explain ‘the truth.’
I don’t know what happened inside those conversations, so I’m not going to invent it.
But if a relationship lasting more than twenty years ends like that, the federation shouldn’t only be thinking about the player who walked out of the building.
They should be thinking about the boys watching him walk out.
Because one day Portugal will ask one of them for everything too.
And when that day comes, you don’t want him remembering Cristiano Ronaldo and thinking:
‘Everything?’
I told Cristiano all those years ago that playing for your country means always coming back.
Perhaps there was another part we should have told him.
Your country should give you a reason to.”
@ubieats@arcanjoo77@littlenightsix@qgda30 Mano foi 1 vez trabalhando na casa de expats bem ricos, bagulho de ocultismo, símbolos de bruxaria, óculos VR entre outras coisas bizarras que prefiro nem falar aqui. Eles brincam muito com o ceticismo e duplo sentido. Eu não sou de acreditar, mas a energia era muito pesada
Maluco fechou a porta do avião na cara do PRESIDENTE e do TREINADOR
Podem continuar odiando, pra ser fã disso aqui tem que ser sacudo e odiar vagabundagem
Portugal no existía antes de CR7, ni en el mapa estaban
Antes de CR7:
❌ Jugó 3/17 Mundiales
❌ Jugó 3/11 Eurocopas
❌ 0 títulos
Con Cristiano Ronaldo:
✅ Jugó 6/6 Mundiales
✅ Jugó 6/6 Eurocopas
✅ Campeón Eurocopa 🏆
✅ Campeón Nations League 🏆
✅ Campeon Nations League 🏆
@Cristiano Naciste en un país con menos historia futbolística que Somalia y lo pusiste en el mapa durante 20 años. Cabeza alta y que celebren su vuelta a la mediocridad.
@arcanjoo77@littlenightsix@qgda30 Quem tá passando pano nunca deve ter visto de perto o quanto essa porra aí é pesada, independentemente se é cético ou crente
mis padres me suelen hablar de como tengo que estudiar mucho para poder irme a estudiar a otro país y irme a vivir ahí (y entiendo completamente) pero el asunto es este: yo no quiero irme de paraguay, yo quiero vivir en un paraguay mejor
