🚨Zinedine Zidane on Jorge Jesus’ treatment of Cristiano Ronaldo with Portugal:
🎙️ Reporter: “Zinedine, what do you make of the way Jorge Jesus has handled Cristiano Ronaldo and everything that has happened with Portugal?”
🗣️ Zinedine Zidane: “I wouldn’t do that to Kylian Mbappé, and I wouldn’t do it to any France player if that’s what you want to know.
“I find it extremely disrespectful that a player of Cristiano’s pedigree can be treated this way and, in less than 24 hours, someone else is being announced with his number.
“You can make football decisions. You can leave Cristiano on the bench. You can decide he doesn’t start a particular match. That is the coach’s right.
“But there is a difference between making a football decision and making a player feel disposable.
“And what makes it worse is that there was an agreement reached privately, then something different was said publicly.
“If you tell Cristiano one thing behind closed doors and then present another version outside, of course he is going to feel betrayed.
“Jorge Jesus is the coach, but Cristiano Ronaldo is not just another player walking into the Portugal dressing room.
“This is a man who carried that shirt for more than two decades. He made Portugal believe they could compete with anyone.
“You don’t erase that because a new coach arrives.
“And you certainly don’t erase it overnight by handing his number to someone else and acting as if nothing happened.
“Portugal can move forward. They should move forward. Every national team eventually has to prepare for the future.
“But preparing for the future does not require disrespecting the past.
“If Jorge wanted to move away from Cristiano, he could have done it with dignity. He could have spoken honestly, explained his football reasons and protected the relationship.
“Instead, now everyone is talking about the conflict rather than Portugal’s football.
“And that is the part I don’t understand.
You had Cristiano Ronaldo in your dressing room. The least you owe a player like that is honesty, respect and dignity.
“Portugal may find another No. 7.
“But they will never find another Cristiano Ronaldo.”
🚨🎙️Reporter: Rasmus, everyone is talking about the moment you pushed Jorge Jesus after the final whistle. What actually happened?
🗣️Højlund: I was going to shake his hand. Then I remembered what he did to Cristiano.
🎙️Reporter: You mean Ronaldo?
🗣️Højlund: Of course I mean Ronaldo. That man is my idol. I grew up watching him, learning from him, celebrating like him. And you expect me to smile and shake hands with someone who disrespected him?
🎙️Reporter: But he is the Portugal coach. Isn’t that just football?
🗣️Højlund: No. Football is competition. What happened with Cristiano was disrespect. You don’t treat a player like him that way and then expect everyone to pretend nothing happened.
🎙️Reporter: So you don’t regret pushing him?
🗣️Højlund: Regret? I regret that I even tried to greet him in the first place. I should have just walked past him.
🎙️Reporter: Are you saying you did it because of Cristiano?
🗣️Højlund: 100 percent. I don’t care what people say tomorrow. Cristiano Ronaldo gave inspiration to an entire generation. If someone disrespects my idol, I’m not going to stand there smiling for a handshake just because cameras are watching.
🎙️Reporter: Would you do it again?
🗣️Højlund: I’d show respect to anyone who deserves it. But respect has to go both ways.
🎙️Reporter: One final message for Jorge Jesus?
🗣️Højlund: You can coach Portugal. You can make your decisions. But don’t expect everyone to forget how you treated Cristiano Ronaldo.
🚨🗣️ Rasmus Hojlund on why he hit the SIU Celebration:
“I just wanted to send a strong message to the Portugal team that if they don’t value Cristiano, there’s a whole lot in the world he has inspired and still looks up to him.” 🇩🇰❤️
🚨 Antonio Conte criticizes Jorge Jesus on the situation with Cristiano Ronaldo:
🗣️ Antonio Conte: “Look, for me, this is very simple. It is a matter of respect, and above all, a matter of clear face-to-face honesty.
“You call a top player, an absolute champion like Cristiano, to the national team. You bring him to the training ground, you take him to the stadium, and then you put him on the bench like he is a normal player? No. If he is not in your mind, if he is not in your tactical idea, you leave him at home! You do not play these media games.
“Jorge Jesus knew Cristiano was 41 years old before he made the squad list. Nobody is stupid! You know he cannot run for 90 minutes like a young horse. But if you call him, it is because you need his personality, his quality, his mentality. You do not bring him just to show the journalists, ‘Look at me, I am the manager, I have the big balls to sit Ronaldo on the bench.’ This is weak.
“And we must speak the truth about how Jorge arrived here. He used Cristiano. He used Ronaldo’s name, his presence, his global spotlight to make himself famous on the international stage and get the Portugal job! You take the benefit from a giant, and then when you get the power, you spit on him? No. This I do not respect.
“And now I read they want another meeting? They sit at a round table again, begging him, ‘Please, Cristiano, do not retire, stay with us,’ making the same promises, only to repeat this embarrassing circus two months later? It is ridiculous! It is not serious!
“Jorge must understand something very well: you can win a small ego war today, but you lose the respect of the entire locker room tomorrow. Cristiano gave his blood and his life for Portugal. You manage him with clear words and maximum respect—or you do not call him at all.”
🚨🚨 𝗠𝗔𝗝𝗢𝗥 𝗕𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚: Diogo Dalot is set to leave the Portuguese National Team after Ronaldo was humiliated by Jorge Jesus:
“I have given everything I have for this shirt, and I have never taken that lightly. But I need to be honest with you. I am seriously considering withdrawing from the Portugal national team.
What has happened to Cristiano Ronaldo is shameful. The coach treated him with no respect. A player who has carried this country for twenty years was told, again, that he would start on the bench, and then he was left to walk out of the camp alone.
That is not how you handle the greatest player this nation has ever produced.
And then, immediately, they handed the number 7 to Rafael Leão. No pause. No dignity. No recognition of what that shirt means. That number is not just a number. It is Cristiano. Giving it away the moment he leaves the camp is not squad management. It is a message. It says he can be replaced overnight, and that the history he built does not matter.
The jersey should have been retired. Instead they chose to mock him.
Cristiano has told me, more than once, that he feels disrespected every single day. I used to think some of that was the pressure that comes with being who he is. I can see it with my own eyes now. I will not stay in a place where my idol is treated like this.
I also have to say something about our own people.
After everything Ronaldo has done for Portugal, the ingratitude is hard to watch. Before him, Portugal had never won a major trophy. He gave us three. Euro 2016. The Nations League in 2019. The Nations League again. He did not do it alone in the dressing room, but on the pitch, in the moments that decided those tournaments, he carried us. The records, the nights, the finals, that was him.
There is more I could say. I won’t. My decision is not final yet, but I will not represent a setup that shows this little respect to the man who made this team what it is. Cristiano deserved better. From the coach. From the federation. From the country.”
🫂Martin Ødegaard: “For me, Cristiano Ronaldo is a role model in every way”.
“He was very kind to me and helped me a lot as a player at Real Madrid. I will not forget that”.
“It’s every kid’s dream to play with him. The feeling of being around him and playing with him was amazing”.
So it looks like @YouTube@TeamYouTube decided to give me a strike.
This means I won't be able to upload videos for 2 weeks. Can someone at @YouTubeCreators please help me resolve this?
I have been uploading consistently for 4 years multiple videos per day with no issues.
